Reading data from an XML document

[Islesfan]

I have an XML document created and I want to write code to read the document and store all the data (inlcuding everything... all tags, attributes, everything!) into a string. I need to be able to pass this string to a function.

Basically, I would like to see the SAME content within the xml file in a text file ..... (I just need to be able to do this)



How do I go about this?
Any sample code would be greatly appreciated!!!


Thx in advance!


BTW .... I am using a webform in .NET!

'C#
String myFile = @"C:\test.xml";
System.IO.FileStream fs = 
new System.IO.FileStream(myFile, System.IO.FileMode.Open , System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
Byte[] myxml = new Byte[fs.Length];
 
fs.Read(myxml, 0, myxml.Length);
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding asci = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
 
String s = asci.GetString(myxml);
 
'i'm displaying to screen,
'you can google how to write a string to a file
Console.WriteLine(s);
 
Console.Read(); 
 
'vb 
Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream("C:\test.xml",System.Io.FileMode.Open, System.Io.FileAccess.Read)
 
Dim myxml(fs.length) As Byte
fs.Read(myxml, 0, myxml.Length)
Dim asci As New  System.Text.ASCIIEncoding
Dim s as String  = asci.GetString(myxml)
'i'm displaying to screen,
'you can google how to write a string to a file
Console.WriteLine(s)
Console.Read()
