since the file is very big!!

You can read through the XML document with an Xml(Text)Reader, that is forward only pull parsing where your code only pulls in the current node.
The documentation is here
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXmlTextReaderClassTopic.asp>
for .NET 1.x and here
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreader(VS.80).aspx>
for .NET 2.0.
