No messing about trying to get namespaces right, no trying to work out the correct XPath, it just works. Now there is a big caveat. Overall, in You still have to use XML specific things like. Descendents etc. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Or would you recomend as you said in the post, the use of XMLReader. Just come across this Wade — absolutely spot on and chimes exactly with my experience, especially with the dreaded Namespaces! Great article.

The posssible duplicate can be seen in the questions edit history ps GeorgeStocker — Jeremy Thompson. JeremyThompson One of the reasons why this was a duplicate is the other question has a much better answer. The top answer being a simple "link only" answer is not useful. GeorgeStocker the questions are different enough to co-exist and both have great answers, plus the accepted ones are using different technologies.
That's why I voted we leave this open, I know this accepted one is link only but it is MSDN and was written at a time before that was unacceptable, hopefully a side effect of reopening is cheering Jon up a bit, read his profile.
Anyway cheers. Active Oldest Votes. Load "yourXMLFile. InnerText ; Console. InnerText ; Also, there are some other methods to work with.
Danny Beckett If you are after one specific element, you can access child elements with the indexer: xmlDoc["Root"], and these can be chained: xmlDoc["Root"]["Folder"]["Item"] to dig down the hierarchy although it's sensible to validate that these elements actually exist — Jason Williams.
InnerText here gets the value of that node, concatenated with all values of child nodes - right? Seems like an odd thing to want. A programmer with a list of female friends? This is not Revenge of the Nerds — user DonCheadle If you aren't expecting there to be any child nodes, then InnerText will just return the node value - which is what I and probably everyone else reading this question am parsing the XML to find in the first place.

In contrast, using XmlDocument I was able to do that with minimal effort. Add a comment. David Schmitt David Schmitt 56k 26 26 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. See codeproject. Good example is the "Purchase Order Example" in the middle of this example from microsoft. You avoid having to create a schema -- your c class is the schema, adorned with C attributes.
Of course, if you need all the data in memory anyway, then you may not have much choice. Community Bot 1 1 1 silver badge. Simon Steele Simon Steele They have been deprecated since. Use XmlReader. Create or XmlWriter. Create instead. Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.
A LoadOptions that specifies white space behavior, and whether to load base URI and line information. The following example parses a string into an XDocument. Nodes of type XText are created for both significant and insignificant white space. If the source XML is indented, not setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in options causes the reader to ignore all of the insignificant white space in the source XML. The XML tree is created without any text nodes for insignificant white space. Significant white space is still preserved, and there are no spans of insignificant white space that could cause the creation of more white space text nodes.
Setting SetBaseUri is not valid when parsing from a String. There is a performance penalty if you set the SetLineInfo flag. The line information is accurate immediately after loading the XML document. If you modify the XML tree after loading the document, the line information may become meaningless.
