How to read in XML to a textbox

Question

Hi i need to read in a XML in a textbox (maybe richtextbox?). Here´s a snippet of XML: doc.xml This is the first textline
Here is the next line in other format. I want to show the text inside the textbox with it`s exact format. My questions: 1. How can i read in the text-content of the XML and display it in a textbox? 2. Is it possible to read in the text-settings as well and how can i do that? (3. Some idea for saving this XML from that textbox?) thank you morton

Thanks Frogleg not quite what i´m looking for. But i found a way via LINQ to get my text in a richTextBox. Here´s the code: public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); Uri url = new Uri(doc.xml UriKind.Relative); WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(client_OpenReadCompleted); client.OpenReadAsync(url) } private void client_OpenReadCompleted(object sender OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e) { if (e.Error != null) { MessageBox.Show(e.Error.ToString()); return; } using (System.IO.Stream s = e.Result) { System.Xml.Linq.XDocument doc = System.Xml.Linq.XDocument.Load(s); var simpleQuery = from simpleItem in doc.Descendants(doc) select simpleItem; foreach (System.Xml.Linq.XElement element in simpleQuery) { richTextBox1.Selection.Text = richTextBox1.Selection.Text + element.Value; } } } My next questions how can i get the text with the right style-settings (fontssize etc.)? And how to set the text in the correct line?

xml textreader may be what you are looking for using System.Xml; XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(whatever.xml); while (reader.Read()) { if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text) { textBox1.AppendText(reader.Value + 
); } }

I want to read in just the content i mean the InnerText of -tags (now it is highlighted)! In the full XML there are more style-settings and text. With settings I mean the style of the text which is described in the tags above (settings are fontfamily fontsize fontstyle). In this case  This is the first textline  is set to TimesNewRoman bold and size 12. And  Here is the next line in other format. is set to Arial italic and size 12. It´s a xml-structure from another program and i want to display it in a textbox with the same settings (if possible).
