Why dobnt you just use something like XML Reader that could be found in System.XML nnameespace??
I will post a code for you as soon as i get home... it will bee in 3-4 hours...

If you are loading from a config file, then you don't need to use the XmlReader, it's already loaded into your Configuration.AppSettings collection, below is how you access it:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["key1"]
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["key2"]

If you need to loop through it, just loop through the AppSettings collection.

Also, just in case you are not aware of this, but the xml config file must be named a certain way: YourAppNameHere.exe.config. If you need the code to iterate through the collection, I can post it. Hope this helps.
