Click to expand...

What exactly do you mean by "display"? You can load the file using
XmlDocument.Load, but what you do with it afterwards is up to you.
 
Have your caps lock got stuck?

Anyways, I know the answer, but I never help screamers.
You've been a bad puppy!

Hi Michael,
By display i mean,reading the xml file indetail.Now can you
tell me as to how can i delete a node within Gate=2/slot=7(if it exists
within that slot).

Use XPath to find the node, and then remove it from its parent node.
For instance:

using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("test.xml");

XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode
("//GATE[@NAME='2']/SLOT[@SNO='7']");
if (node != null)
{
node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node);
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
doc.WriteTo(writer);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine ("Couldn't find node");
}
}
}

(where test.xml contains the xml you originally posted) produces:
