Looping through XML in asp.net

[BeWyched]

I'm trying to extract data from a simple XML document that holds the data in 2 levels by looping through the levels. Simplified code is:

Dim doc As New XmlDataDocument
Dim strngs As String, strng1 As String, strng2 As String
Dim Node1 As XmlNode, Node2 As XmlNode

strngs = "<ABC><XYZ>Smith<EFG>Jim</EFG><EFG>Freddy></EFG><EFG>Bill</EFG></XYZ><XYZ>Jones<EFG>Gill</EFG><EFG>Jack</EFG></XYZ></ABC>")

doc.LoadXml(strngs)

For Each Node1 In doc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes
Response.Write(Node1.ChildNodes(0).InnerText)
If Node1.HasChildNodes Then
For Each Node2 In Node1.
Response.Write("Node2.ChildNodes(0).InnerText")
Next
End If
Next
Problem is the code trips up at the second 'Node2.ChildNodes(0).InnerText line.' If I remove the reference to Childnodes(0) it works but I get an extra data line reading '#text' at each pass of the second loop. It seems to be trying to pick up the data from the node above - I can make it work by chopping out the first pass of each second loop but this seems a cumbersome thing to have to do.

I've missed something very simple here I think!

Any ideas - thanks in advance.
