Dim reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create("file path here")
 
reader.Read()
reader.ReadStartElement("Server")
reader.ReadStartElement("name")
MessageBox.Show(reader.ReadString())
reader.ReadEndElement()
reader.ReadEndElement()
reader.Close()

I suggest you read a bit about the XmlReader class. If you want to edit XML documents then you should read about the XmlDocument class too, and the XmlWriter class for good measure.
