Really not clear what you are asking! Xml is a string you say you can read it and store it - so no problem there. If you are asking how you can read element (generic term for node and attribute) values then you will need to use xmldocument (using system.xml namespace) object which will give you all the methods to traverse through the xml document. You may also want to look into xpath query in case you wish access all nodes (with specific attribute etc) in one go. Good luck!
