XML help

Tim
Here is my Test.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<addkey="InstanceName" value="Server1" />
<addkey="UserID" value="sa" />
<addkey="Password" value="testing" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Dim hReader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(".\Test.xml")

First scenario: What I want is to pull the values out and print them to a
msgbox.

Server1
sa
testing

Second scenario: Given a name I want to return the value. I.E. Give me
the UserID -> sa

I am new to dotnet, thanks for the help

Something like (C# code:)

XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument("foo.xml");
XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
XPathNodeIterator ni = nav.Select("/configuration/appSettings/add");
while (ni.MoveNext())
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Key '{0}', value '{1}'",
ni.Current.GetAttribute("key", ""), ni.Current.GetAttribute("value", "")));
string key = "Password";
XPathNodeIterator ni2 =
nav.Select("/configuration/appSettings/add[@key='" + key +"']/@value");
if (ni2.MoveNext())
MessageBox.Show(ni2.Current.Value);
