I am working with SqlXml and the stored procedure that returns a xml rather than raw data. How does one actually read the data when returned is a xml and does not know about the column names.

Using SQL 2012 & getting XML passed into a stored procedure that must take that input & write a row to the table for each of the items that is in a section of the XML that is passed to the stored procedure. The XML looks like: <MyXML> <MyMsg>My Text Message</MyMsg> <MsgTime>2013-09-25 10:52:37.098</MsgTime> <SendToList> <SendTo>John</SendTo> <SendTo>James</SendTo> <SendTo>Rob</SendTo> <SendTo>Pete</SendTo> <SendTo>Sam</SendTo> </SendToList> </MyXML> The output of the stored procedure should be 5 rows inserted into a table (one for each SendTo above), and each having the same value in the MyMsg
