That would get a whole (but empty) element, though. IIRC, you can use XmlNodeReader.ReadStartElement() to read the whole tag, then the XmlNodeReader.Value will contain the contents of the tag.
Note that this is from memory and I don't have time to check right now! I am pretty sure that I've seen and XmlReader give me precisely what you're after, and the above is my best guess at how to get it :) HTH, G. -- Graeme Foster ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Principal Software Engineer Aston Broadcast Systems Ltd.

What I need to do is take something like <tag > att="one">Some text</tag>, and return <tag att="one"> only. Sure is. Have a look at XmlNode::CloneNode. In your case you want to pass false for the "deep" parameter.
