Read contents of XML element

[Guest]

I have an XML document that looks like

<request>
<login>
<username>myuser</username>
<password>mypass</password>
</login>
</request>

How do I get the values of username and password into a string?

I know how to do this if there are multiple <login></login> parts:
im Files As New ArrayList
Dim nodelist As XmlNodeList
Dim node As XmlNode

nodelist = xmldoc.SelectNodes("/REQUEST/IMPORT/DOCUMENT/FIELD")
For Each node In nodelist
If node.Attributes.GetNamedItem("CODE").Value = "BASE64" Then
Dim Filename As String = node.Item("DATA").InnerText()
If File.Exists(Filename) Then
Files.Add(Filename)
End If
End If
Next

When I try:

Dim nodelist As XmlNodeList
Dim node As XmlNode
node = xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("/REQUEST/LOGIN")


Dim login() As String
nodelist = xmldoc.SelectNodes("/REQUEST/LOGIN")

login(0) = node.Item("USERNAME").Value
login(1) = node.Item("PASSWORD").Value

node.item("USERNAME").value and node.item("PASSWORD").value are nothig and
I get a null reference error.

It's case sensitive, so try lower case to match the xml.

Sorry, everything should be in UPPERCASE, so it is not uppercase, lowercase
problem

Couple of ideas for you . . ..



Dim xmldoc As New Xml.XmlDocument

xmldoc.LoadXml("<REQUEST><LOGIN><USERNAME>myuser</USERNAME><PASSWORD>mypass</PASSWORD></LOGIN></REQUEST>")

Dim nodelist As XmlNodeList

Dim node As XmlNode

node = xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("/REQUEST/LOGIN")

MsgBox(xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("//USERNAME").InnerText)

MsgBox(xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("/REQUEST/LOGIN/PASSWORD").InnerText)

nodelist = node.SelectNodes("/REQUEST/LOGIN")

MsgBox(nodelist(0).SelectSingleNode("USERNAME").InnerText)

MsgBox(node.SelectSingleNode("PASSWORD").InnerText)
