If the following document is saved as "example.xml":
</ xml>
<nodeA>
<nodeB>
<nodeC>
<nodeD>
<value1>NO</value1>
<value2>NO</value2>
<value3>NO</value3>
<value4>YES</value4>
</nodeD>
</nodeC>
</nodeB>
</nodeA>
How can I then get value4
My code works along the following lines:
Dim xml_doc As XmlDocument
Dim xml_nodelist As XmlNodeList
Dim xml_node As XmlNode
xml_doc = New XmlDocument()
Dim xml_reader As XmlTextReader = Nothing
xml_reader = New xmlTextReader("example.xml")
xml_doc.Load(xmlReader)
xml_nodelist = xml_doc.SelectNodes("/nodeA/nodeB/nodeC/nodeD")
What can I do from here

Simple XML problem :)

Dim xml_doc As XmlDocument
Dim xml_nodelist As XmlNodeList
Dim xml_node As XmlNode
xml_doc = New XmlDocument()
Dim xml_reader As XmlTextReader = Nothing
xml_reader = New XmlTextReader("example.xml")
' note incorrect syntax in your post must provide instantiated object not object type
xml_doc.Load(xml_reader)
xml_nodelist = xml_doc.SelectNodes("/nodeA/nodeB/nodeC/nodeD")
If xml_nodelist.Count >= 4 Then
xml_node = xml_nodelist(3)
Dim ValueOfnode4 As String = xml_node.Value
' Provided for breakpoint
ValueOfnode4 = String.Empty
End If
' or using the xmlreader
' Loop throuigh each node getting the value
While xml_reader.Read()
If xml_reader.HasValue Then
Dim ans As String = xml_reader.Value
' provide for breakpoint
ans = String.Empty
End If
End While

node as XmlNode = xml_doc.SelectSingleNode(@"descendant::value4")
if (Not(node is Nothing))
MessageBox.Show(node.InnerText) ' Prints out "Yes"
