Add XML to asp.net Dictionary

Hi,

I have the following xml file

<fields>
<field>
      <db value=@name/>
      <ui value=txtName/>
</field>
<field>
      <db value=@name2 />
      <ui value=txtName2 />
</field>

<field>
      <db value=@name3 />
      <ui value=txtName 3 />
</field>

</fields>

I'm trying to achieve this
Map.Add("@name ", " txtName");
Mapr.Add("@name2", " txtName2");
Map.Add("@name3", " txtName3");

Thanks in advance

I have been trying to add all the values to a  dictionary. Not sure why but my data from my xml file does not get added t the dictionary.

   private static void MapFile()
        {
	           Map = new Dictionary<string, string>();
            Map.Clear();

                XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
                xdoc.Load(@"C:\XML\XMLFILE.xml");

             XmlNode commandnode = xdoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/root/fields/field");
                Dictionary<string, string> Map = new Dictionary<string, string>();
                 {
                    foreach (XmlNode inneritem in commandnode)
                    {
                        foreach (XmlNode data in inneritem)
                        {
                            Map.Add(????, ????);
                        }
                    }
                
                
                 }
               }

Code can be cleaned up a bit but you get the idea

XElement root = XElement.Load(MapPath("~/XMLFile.xml"));
        foreach (XElement field in root.Elements())
        {
            string db = field.Element("db").Attribute("value").Value;
            string ui = field.Element("ui").Attribute("value").Value;

            Map(db, ui);
        }
        
    }

    public void Map(string db, string ui)
    {
        Response.Write(string.Format("{0} = {1} <hr/>", db, ui));
    }
