very basic xml question.

Question

I have an ini that looks like this: Pride And Prejudice1 the autors name 19.95 But i cant figure out how to read only the name of the autor.

Why do you have xml nodes in an ini file? Either way I would use System.Xml.Linq. using System; using System.Xml.Linq; using System.Xml.Xpath; static void Main() { string xmlPath = @C:	emp\books.xml; string bookVal = ; XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(xmlPath); XElement xAuthor = xDoc.XPathSelectElement(book/author); if (xAuthor != null) bookVal = xAuthor.Value; }
