Simple XML reading

[MSSQLServerDeveloper]

I have the following xml file -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Publisher1>Mary</Publisher1>
<Distributor>Joe</Distributor>

and snippet of vb.net code that is failing with the error-
"The <Publisher1> tag from namespace is not expected"

Dim XmlReader As New XmlTextReader("ReplConfig.xml")
Return XmlReader.ReadElementString("Distributor")

Any ideas?

A valid XML file can only have one root tag.

<Config>
<Publisher />
<Distributor />
</Config>

is fine, but

<Publisher />
<Distributor />

is not..

HTH,
