The following c# code shows how to read from an xml file

Using the XmlTextReader class you get a forward only stream of XML data. It is then possible to handle each element as you read it without holding the entire DOM in memory.



    First Element
    Second Element
    Third Element
    Fourth Element
    Fifth Element

It is assumed that the XML File shown above is in your applications Bin\Debug directory, and called xmlfile.xml, here is the C# Code to read the XML:


string filename = "xmlfile.xml";

XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(filename);			
			
while(tr.Read())
{
     if(tr.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text)
          System.Console.WriteLine(tr.Value);
}

When you run this example, you will get the following result:


First Element
Second Element
Third Element
Fourth Element
Fifth Element
