XML into string var

[xnakxx]

I have a real simple xml doc...
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<parent>
<child-a>value-a </child-a>
<child-b>value-b </child-b>
.....
</parent>

I am having a heck of a time trying to read it into vars
ie.
the var "child-a" = "value-a"

what i am trying to accomplish is to output a (dynamic) html file using
streamwriter with the values from the xml doc.

any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is a common function of an XSLT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT

Done right it will transform the xml file into whatever html you would
like. There are some great examples of this in the WROX book
Professional VB.NET as well.
