Hello,
I'm going to learn how to make an easy XML reader:
XML file

Code: Select all

<products>
  <product>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Ipod Touch 4</name>
    <price>200</price>
    <btw>21</btw>
  </product>
  <product>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>Itunes Store Card €15</name>
    <price>15</price>
    <btw>21</btw>
  </product>
</products

Then first of all make sure u put:

Code: Select all

Imports System.XML

at the top then dim the document and a node:

Code: Select all

Dim XmlDoc As New XmlDocument
        Dim XmlNode As XmlNode
        

Then we are going to load the document:

Code: Select all

XmlDoc.load("Products.xml")

then for example if the form load it must give each Product in a listbox then do:

Code: Select all

For Each XmlNode In XmlDoc.SelectNodes("//product")
ListBox1.Items.Add(XmlNode.SelectSingleNode("name").InnerText
Next)

then if you want more details example like the MMDC6 u can show up a new form and give details:

Code: Select all

XmlNode = XmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/products/product[name='" & Form1.ListBox1.SelectedItem & "']")
        Label1.Text = XmlNode.SelectSingleNode("id").InnerText
        Label2.Text = XmlNode.SelectSingleNode("name").InnerText
        Label3.Text = XmlNode.SelectSingleNode("price").InnerText & " EUR"
        Label4.Text = XmlNode.SelectSingleNode("btw").InnerText & " %"
