C# XMLreader and child nodes

You should read to the <images> element, then read to the first <image> descendant, and then read to the next sibling until you can't anymore. The code below shows how this can be done.

Try making use of these objects:

XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();XmlNodeList nodes = xml.ChildNodes;XmlNode node = nodes[0];XmlNode childNode = node.ChildNodes[0];
