Hi I wrote a short console example: using System; using System.Xml; namespace XmlTest { class Class1 { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { string path = @..\..\accounts.xml; XmlTextReader r = new XmlTextReader(path); try { while(r.Read()) { switch (r.NodeType) { case XmlNodeType.Element: while(r.MoveToNextAttribute()) { Console.WriteLine(Name:  + r.Name +  / Value: + r.Value); } break; } } } finally { r.Close(); } Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine(Press enter to exit.); Console.ReadLine(); } } } I think this should explain how to use the XmlTextReader class.
