VB.NET: Extract element and attribute using ChildNode method......[Resolved]

[toytoy]

Say I have these Xml tag:

  <hi help=”example”>
    <how>
      <to>do</to>
      <or> 
        <give suggestion=”on” doing=”it”/>
      </or>
      <thank>bye</thank>
    </how>
    <how>
        …
    </how>
  </hi>

I want to use the childNode method to do for example:

Dim xdoc As XmlDocument
Dim nodelist As XmlNodeList
Dim node As XmlNode
Dim to, thank, suggestion, doing As String
xdoc = New XmlDocument

xdoc.LoadXml("example.xml")

nodelist = xdoc.SelectNodes("/hi/how")

   For Each node In nodelist
        to = node.ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText
        thank = node.ChildNodes.Item(2).InnerText
        listbox.Items.Add( to & thank)
        Dim giveNode As XmlNode = node.ChildNodes.Item(1).ChildNodes.Item(0)
        suggestion = giveNode.Attributes(0).Value
        doing = giveNode.Attributes(1).Value
        listbox.Items.Add( suggestion & doing)
    Next

I can use the above code to get the content of to, thank, suggestion and doing...but how to get back the same content if i change the Xml tag to:

  <hi help=”example”>
    <how to=”do”>
      <give suggestion=”on” doing=”it”/> 
      <thank>bye</thank>
    </how>
    <how>
        …
    </how>
  </hi>

Thanks

I manage to extract only the "to" and "thank" tag with the following code:

to = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem("to").Value
thank = node.ChildNodes.Item(1).InnerText

Can anybody help me to get the suggestion and doing attributes...

Thanks

At last, i solve it using:

suggestion= node.ChildNodes.Item(0).Attributes.GetNamedItem("suggestion").Value
doing = node.ChildNodes.Item(0).Attributes.GetNamedItem("doing").Value
