Read Xml data

[AgentM]

am trying to read the following xml file into different arrays

Here's the xml file format

<Elements>
<elem1 attr1="val1" attr2="val2">
<subelem1 attr="val1">
<type1 />
<value1 />
</subelem1>
<subelem2 attr="val2">
<type2 />
<value2 />
</subelem2>
</elem1>

<elem2 attr4="val4" attr5="val5" />
<subelem1 attr="val1">
<type1 />
<value1 />
</subelem1>

<subelem2 attr="val2">
<type2>
<value2>
</subelem2>
</elem2>
</Elements>

I need to read each Element in a different array and the subelements are goingto be objects in each cell in the array.

How can I accomplish this using only xmlTextReader.?

Any ideas are welcome.

This will return a SortedList, I'm sure it can be converted to return an Array or ArrayList without to much effort.

public class SortedListBuilder{
		
/// <summary>
/// This method reads the xml file looking for the requested key group and returns them setup as a SortedList.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="xmlFile">The file where we are getting our keys.</param>
/// <param name="keyGroup">The name of the keys we are looking for.</param>
/// <returns>A SortedList with key-value</returns>
public static SortedList MakeSortedList(string xmlFile, string keyGroup){
			
SortedList sortedList = new SortedList();
		
// read values from xml config file and load keys into sorted list
if(System.IO.File.Exists(xmlFile)){

	string val = "";
	string keyName = "";

	XmlTextReader MyReader = new XmlTextReader(xmlFile);
			MyReader.WhitespaceHandling=WhitespaceHandling.None;
	MyReader.Read();
				
	while(MyReader.Read()){
					MyReader.MoveToElement();
	val = MyReader.Value;
	if(MyReader.NodeType==XmlNodeType.Element){
						
		if(MyReader.Name==keyGroup){
		keyName = MyReader["name"].ToString();
		MyReader.Read();
		val = MyReader.Value;
		sortedList.Add(keyName,val);
		MyReader.Read();
		}
	}
}
MyReader.Close();
}
return sortedList;
}
}

Hope this helps.
