Returning line from XML file...

I have a file called setting.xml which contains the following:

CODE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <settings licenseServiceType="1" protectedStorageFile="%AppDomainAppPath%App_Data\storage.psf" addressSigned="tgAAAIv1/CTaEM0BkLI9HW0ozQEZAGh0dHA6Ly8xMC4xMjguNTQuNDk6ODA5MS96FnzeHrzBS3YydgZ/nSOa8zEGLKNhas0PomOdV/JBhBP9HLq09G6MUb6uwoJ4ogQ=" customerDeploymentLicenseCode="dgAAAJEL0iTaEM0BkLI9HW00" > </settings>

What I am trying to do is return the information for the "customerDeploymentLicenseCode" line e.g. dgAAAJEL0iTaEM0BkLI9HW00

I have done the following code, but for some reason it is not matching/finding that line and therefore returns nothing. I can't seem to figure out why not, is it possible for someon to point out my mistake?

CODE

Public Function GetServerLicenseCode() As String Dim settingsFilePath As String = GetRealFilePath("%AppDomainAppPath%App_Data\settings.xml") Dim objFileName As FileStream = New FileStream(settingsFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) Dim objFileRead As StreamReader = New StreamReader(objFileName) Dim customerLicCode As String = "" Do While (objFileRead.Peek() > -1) If objFileRead.ReadLine().IndexOf("customerDeploymentLicenseCode") <> -1 Then ' customerLicCode = objFileRead.ReadLine().Replace("customerDeploymentLicenseCode=", "") customerLicCode = objFileRead.ReadLine() Exit Do End If Loop Return customerLicCode End Function

Thanks

Since this is an XML file, use the XML objects in .NET to read it:


Dim XMLDoc As XmlDocument

Dim SettingsList As XmlNodeList

Dim SettingsNode As XmlNode

Dim customerLicCode As String = ""

XMLDoc = New XmlDocument

XMLDoc.Load("%AppDomainAppPath%App_Data\settings.xml")

SettingsList = XMLDoc.SelectNodes("/settings")

SettingsNode = SettingsList(0) 'I'm not too sure about this index, you might need to change this line a bit

customerLicCode = SettingsNode.Attributes("customerDeploymentLicenseCode").Value
