I'm getting a small xml file as on big string and need to parse it into
it's fields for use. Can anyone point me to a nifty way to do this in .net?

Take a look at the xmldocument class. There is a method there that load
from a string.

dim oDom as new XMLDocument

oDom.LoadXML(sXml)

....is that what you were looking for?

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

From your description, my understanding is that you want to read a XML
format string and obtain some values in it. If I have misunderstood
anything, please let me know.

As Matt mentioned, the XmlDocument.LoadXml method is appropriated for the
current issue. The following article from MSDN demonstrates how to approach
this:

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

Using the XmlReader class is also appropriated. Just for your reference:

I went with Matt's and your way after all. I couldn't figure out how to
retrieve the values from the XmlTextReader.

Here's what I have now:

Dim doc As New XmlDocument
doc.LoadXml(xmlReply)

Dim actNbr As XmlNodeList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("account_number")
Dim replyCode As XmlNodeList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("reply_code")

MessageBox.Show("Account: " & actNbr(0).InnerText)
MessageBox.Show("Reply code: " & replyCode(0).InnerText)

This works fine but I want to learn and am always open to suggestions if
anyone has any.
