@mangesh - can you rewrite your question with a little bit more information about what you are trying to achieve. As it stands now you're not going to get any answers and are likely to be down-voted.ChrisF– ChrisF2009-09-13 17:19:31 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2009 at 17:19

Not to mention, even my 3 year old knows down cold that when you ask for something, you say "Please", not just "give".DVK– DVK2009-09-13 17:26:30 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2009 at 17:26

3@DVK: your 3 year old is presumably a native English speaker, which isn't true of everyone on the planet.MusiGenesis– MusiGenesis2009-09-13 17:32:40 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2009 at 17:32

1(1) My kid is actually NOT a native English speaker, nor am I. (2) Every language on the planet that I'm aware of has a "please" equivalent. I'd be very glad if you provided counter-example before adding snide "I'm a sensitive multiculturalist and you're not" remarks. (3) It's one of the very first words people learn when learning English, which the questioner obviously knows to some extent. (4) I wasn't commenting on quality of grammar, but on level of politeness.DVK– DVK2009-09-14 01:43:48 +00:00Commented Sep 14, 2009 at 1:43

The simplest way to read an XML file into memory is to use the XDocument.Load method. This method takes a file path and returns an XDocument instance which can be used to query the contents
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(@"c:\path\to\the\xmlfile.xml");
If you're working with an older API, you may need to use the XmlDocument class. It can be loaded in the following way
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(@"c:\path\to\the\xmlfile.xml");

If you're using .Net 3.5 or later, you can use the XDocument class to read and write XML.
If you're still in .Net 2.0, you can use the XmlDocument class.
