XML on pocket pc

[Hokkie]

Hi,

I cannot figure out why there is an "ArgumentNullException" error for the following code. I get the error on the line that adds the first child's value to the listbox. The listbox is there.

        Dim objXMLDocument As New XmlDocument
        Dim objXMLRootElement As XmlElement
        Dim objXMLRecensieElement As XmlElement

      objXMLDocument.Load("\Program Files\XML Try for PPC\Recensies.xml")
	objXMLRootElement = objXMLDocument.DocumentElement
		For Each objXMLRecensieElement In objXMLRootElement
			ListBox1.Items.Add(objXMLRecensieElement.FirstChild.Value)
	Next

This is the XML file I'm trying to read:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

</recensies>

Any help please?

Check what objXMLRecensieElement.FirstChild.Value is returning.

The FirstChild.Value returns nothing. FirstChild.Value.ToString also returns nothing (and also raises the NullReference error).

The FirstChild.InnerText propery returns the value I was looking for.

What is the different between Value.ToString and InnerText?
