How to read each nodes.there is no nested xml tags

If its well formed simple xml file then you can try with DateSet's ReadXml(XmlReader) method to read the data from Xml in to dataset .

string filePath = Server.MapPath("~/XMLFile1.xml");
            //Create Dataset to hold the data
            using (DataSet ds = new DataSet())
            {
                //Read the data into dataset
                ds.ReadXml(filePath);
                //loop through dataset and read values
                foreach (DataTable dt in ds.Tables)
                {
                    foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
                    {
                        foreach (object item in row.ItemArray)
                        {
                            // read item
                            Console.WriteLine(item);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Sample XML I used

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rootnodes>
  <node>
    Val1
  </node>
  <node>
    Val2
  </node>
  <node>
    Val3
  </node>
  <node>
    Val4
  </node>
</rootnodes>

Hi Guhananth,

Do you mean that you want to read and print the tags?

I've made a sample and maybe you could refer to.

xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<tags>
  <name>
    1111
  </name>
  <age>
    2222
  </age>
  <sex>
    3333
  </sex>
</tags>

            XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
            xml.Load(@"C:\XMLFile1.xml");
            foreach (XmlNode node in xml.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(node.Name);
            }

the result is like:

name
age
sex

Are you having one rootnode and all values inside it. If possible paste a sample xml structure.

Print the tag and values

To read the value from node, you can use InnerText property of XMLnode like below. I used the sample xml provided in previous post by Jenifer

XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
            xml.Load(@"C:\Forums\XMLFile1.xml");
            foreach (XmlNode node in xml.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Node Name : " + node.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Node Value : " + node.InnerText.Trim());
            }
