Get Xml attribute

[Aaron]

<xml>
<test attrib1="hello" attrib2="world">textValue</test>
</xml>

I need some help getting the values of attrib1, attrib2 and the test tag.
the output should be:
hello
world
textValue

[c#]
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(url);
XmlNode docElement = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlAttributeCollection tagAttribute = docElement.Attributes;

I got to this far but not sure what to do next

Thanks in advance

In your document DocumentElement is xml element (btw, that's reserved
name, don't use it) and it doesn't have attributes.
I'd suggest you using XPath instead of native DOM navigation even in
such simple case, because simple usually become convolute and modifying
DOM navigation code could be a real nightmare.

Use
XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("/xml/test/@* | /xml/test/text()");
foreach(XmlNode node in nodes) {
Console.WriteLine(node.Value);
}

Do you know how to get the attribute values?

Sorry, did you see the code I've posted? It does outputs attribute values.

i see this but this is only one value isn't it?

Console.WriteLine(node.Value);

could you set the output to variables? sorry im new to xml.

pseudo-code
attrib1 = node.attrib1
attrib2 = node.attrib2
textValue = node.value

thx

Oh come on, don't you see this statement is within a foreach loop over
selected nodes (attributes and text):

XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("/xml/test/@* | /xml/test/text()");
foreach(XmlNode node in nodes) {
Console.WriteLine(node.Value);
}

It does outputs
hello
world
textValue

could you set the output to variables? sorry im new to xml.

pseudo-code
attrib1 = node.attrib1
attrib2 = node.attrib2
textValue = node.value

Sure
XmlElement test = (XmlElement)doc.SelectSingleNode("/xml/test");
string attrib1 = test.Attributes["attrib1"].Value;
string attrib2 = test.Attributes["attrib2"].Value;
string textValue = test.FirstChild.Value;

or

XmlElement test = (XmlElement)doc.SelectSingleNode("/xml/test");
string attrib1 = doc.SelectSingleNode("/xml/test/@attrib1").Value;
string attrib2 = doc.SelectSingleNode("/xml/test/@attrib2").Value;
string textValue = doc.SelectSingleNode("/xml/test/text()").Value;
