[QUOTE="ra20002, post: 8296408, member: 110775"] Topic says what i'm going to teach you.But first you need to know some theories about XML and C#.

Can search for any node. What is XML DOM ? It provide standard mechanism for programitically working with data. Read XML data XML data is load into XmlDocument object So first we have to create a XmlDocument object . XML data look like this... <bookstore> <book category="CHILDREN"> <title>Harry Potter</title> <author>J K.
