[DOTNET] XmlTextReader with an XPath

[Nischal Muthana]

Hi All

I have a small program which uses XmlTextReader to
read through an XML file and get the appropriate
values from the file.

Following is my XML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customer>
        <name>Nischal</name>
        <address>
                <currAddress>
                  <street></street>
                  <city></city>
                  <state></state>
                </currAddress>
                <prevAddress>
                  <street></street>
                  <city></city>
                  <state></state>
                </prevAddress>
        </address>
</customer>

I believe with XmlTextReader I cannot specify a
particular node name and get the Text of that node. I
am tryin to get the street of currAddress. In my code
I do this way

string strStreet="";
FileStream fs = new
FileStream(myXml.xml",FileMode.Open);
XmlTextReader myReader = new XmlTextReader(fs);
while(myReader.Read())
{
  if(myReader.NodeType != XmlNodeType.EndElement)
  {
    switch(myReader.Name)
    {
      case "street":
         strStreet = myReader.ReadString();
    }
  }
}

How can I specify that I need only the
currAddress/street

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Nischal
