noob: C# Config XML

[psymon25]

Hi All I posted the below on MSDN and nothing so far so I hope someone here can help:

This is my first time working with XML so please bare with me

I have a form with 18 textboxes and i can save the textbox data to XML fine... I just cannot read it back and Load the settings to the correct textboxes:???

Write to XML by Using:

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
ItemInfo[] infos = new ItemInfo[this.Controls.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < this.Controls.Count; i++)
if (this.Controls[i] is TextBox)
{
infos[i] = ItemInfo.FromTB(this.Controls[i] as TextBox);
}

XmlConfigHelper.SetTBItems(infos);

//LoadSettings();
}

The result of the XML file is( short snippet)

<Settings>
<TextBoxes>
<Item>
<DisplayName>q6</DisplayName> <--TextBox name -->
<Location>319,108</Location> <--TextBox Location -->
<Value>234</Value> <--TextBox.Text Value-->
</Item>
</TextBoxes>
</Settings>

I have tried various methods to load this file and my last attempt is below: So any help with this is more than welcome before tall buildings become appealing ... ..thankyou in Advance...

private void LoadSettings()
{

ItemInfo[] infos = XmlConfigHelper.GetTBItems();//XmlConfigHelper = Get Set Class for XML creation

for (int i = 0; i < infos.Length; i++)
{

setTextBox(a[i], infos[i]);
}

}

void setTextBox(TextBox tb, ItemInfo info)
{
tb.Name = info.name; //this gives a null reference error????
tb.Location = info.TBLocation;
tb.Text = info.value;

}
