Get XML objects from the System.XML namespace. Miles easy that access as u only have to distribute a text file, what could be more simple??!!

otxtReader = New XmlTextReader("******.xml")
Do While otxtReader.Read
Dim oNode As XmlNodeType
oNode = otxtReader.NodeType
If oNode = XmlNodeType.Element
Try
cboImages.Items.Add(otxtReader.GetAttribute("name"))
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End If
Loop
