In addition to just reading a value, and in addition to the comments of
Chris, I'd suggest you can use the XSD.EXE tool that comes with the .net
framework sdk. This tool can take a well-formed xml and produce a schema.
You can edit the schema (graphically) to make sure it is what you want. You
can then use the same tool to create a class that maps to that schema.

Then, it's a simple act of deserializing your data into the class. After
that, you can read EVERY value simply from an object.

It's pretty sweet.
