Read specific fragment of XML

[PL_Andrev]

Hi all,

My XML looks like:
<item>
<data1>...</data1>
</item>
<item>
<data1>...</data1>
</item>

How to read data only for one "item"? (next one is read when button / action is activated).
I know how to read data only when one item is located at xml file...

Select all nodes of type <item>

        Dim xNodeList As Xml.XmlNodeList
        Dim xDoc As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument
        xDoc.Load("path\to\xml\file")
        xNodeList = xDoc.SelectNodes("//item")

        For Each n As Xml.XmlNode In xNodeList
            MessageBox.Show(n.InnerText)
        Next

Select first node of type <item>

        Dim xDoc As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument
        xDoc.Load("path\to\xml\file")
        Dim n As Xml.XmlNode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//item")
        MessageBox.Show(n.InnerText)

OK, when we found a specific "item" how to read specified sub-items for this item?
like:
<item>
<Title>Divine Comedy</Title> ---> send it into Label1
<Author>Dante</Author> ---> send it into Label2
</item>

When next item is selected, the data should be updated...

BTW. The value is read by "n.InnerText". May I use them as a value to manipulate them?

XmlNode has ChildNodes property which you can use

Dim n As Xml.XmlNode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//item")

Label1.Text = n.ChildNodes(0).InnerText
Label2.Text = n.ChildNodes(1).InnerText

To get node's value using its name

Dim n As Xml.XmlElement= xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//item")

Label1.Text = n.Item("Title").InnerText
Label2.Text = n.Item("Author").InnerText
