The XmlTextReader itself has no method for that but you can pass the
reader to the method ReadNode of an XmlDocument object which then
creates the node.
Here is a simple example that uses the reader to read through an XML
document, looking for an element node with node name 'god' and then
creates an XmlElement of that:
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(args[0]);
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement god = null;
while (xmlReader.Read()) {
if (xmlReader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element &&
xmlReader.Name == "god")
{
god = (XmlElement) xmlDocument.ReadNode(xmlReader);
break;
}
}
xmlReader.Close();
if (god != null) {
Console.WriteLine("Found {0} with OuterXml:\r\n{1}", god,
god.OuterXml);
}
}

Here is the documentation of ReadNode:

Thanks ,but what I need is to send a "main" node,a node which can be
taken by the recursive function and get to all the other Xml Nodes.How
do I do that?
Thanks!

I am not sure I understand what you want to do, perhaps simply calling
the Load method of an XmlDocument on an XmlTextReader is all you are
looking for:
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.Load(new XmlTextReader(urlGoesHere));

Hello,
I want to go via all the nodes in the xml doc and that's why I need a
main XmlNOde which will provide me recursivly to go though all of the
elements in the document.
How can I do it?
Thank you!

The main node will be an instance of XmlDocument then as already posted
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.Load(new XmlTextReader(someURL));
Then you can access the ChildNodes of the xmlDocument and recursively
walk the tree.
Or if you wan the root element you can then access
xmlDocument.DocumentElement
