Trying to retrieve value from basic XML

I have an XML file with the following:

<AppSetting>
...
Nothing of Interest
...
</AppSetting>

<Customer>
...
<add key=”Bla” value=”South”/>
...
</Customer>

My goal is to check if the key “Bla” is equal to “South” from my code.
If I put the key “Bla” in my AppSetting section then the following would work:
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Bla"] == “South”

However, how can I access the value when it is placed inside the Customer Section? There must be some simple statement that can be used but I am unable to find anything besides getting Customer Section as a dictionary and going threw the setting [not something I want to do, only want that one value].

Any clues [using C#]?

is this being declared in the web.config file? (if so, post the format of the file) or in some other xml document?

you could just create a customers.xml file and read it

Code:

---

using System.Xml;

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(Server.MapPath("customers.xml"));

while(reader.Read())
{
  reader.MoveToContent();
  if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
      Response.Write("<b><" + reader.Name + "></b><br>");
  if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text)
      Response.Write(reader.Value + "<br>");
}

reader.Close();
