Read XML in VB.net

Question

I have googled for the last hour or so with no luck (I\'d like to think I\'m a great googler too!), so here I am.

I have an XML file that I\'m using for my programs sett

Answer 1

Here's a Console app using the VB.Net XML Literal support.

Module Module1

    Sub Main()

        Dim xElem = 
                       
                           0323
                           
address
                           phone
                       

                       
                           emailfrom
                           pass
                           received
                           smtp.gmail.com
                           587
                           true
                           package received
                       
                       
                           path
                       
                   

        Dim number = xElem...Value
        Dim emailbody = xElem...Value

        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Number={0}", number))
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("emailbody={0}", emailbody))
        Console.ReadLine()

        '--- What it'd look like if you loaded from a file using XDocument.Load
        Dim xDoc = XDocument.Load(New IO.StringReader(xElem.ToString))
        number = xDoc.Root...Value
        emailbody = xDoc.Root...Value

        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Number={0}", number))
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("emailbody={0}", emailbody))
        Console.ReadLine()


    End Sub

End Module

The results will be:

Number=0323
emailbody=package received

Number=0323
emailbody=package received
