Parsing XML

[Kent Ogletree]

I seem to be having a problem parsing an XML string and have not found a
good reference to assist me. I have XML strings stored in a database such
as:

<qMultipleChoice>
<qText>My distance learning experience was positive.</qText>
<qChoice>StronglyDisagree</qChoice>
<qChoice>SomewhatDisagree</qChoice>
<qChoice>Neutral<qChoice>
<qChoice>SomewhatAgree</qChoice>
<qChoice>StronglyAgree</qChoice>
</qMultipleChoice>

I need to get the base name of the base node and children and the text
string of each child. Then select a control and populate it based on the
node basenames and values.

Has anyone done anything close to this or have a reference to it?

Thanks,
Kent

Kent,
I would recommend either System.Xml.XmlDocument or
System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument, as they tend to be 'easier' code wise,
System.Xml.XmlTextReader is easier on memory, but I think its a little more
work code wise.

I don't have any book references handy, however this following section of
MSDN is a good start.

Hope this helps
Jay
