You can do all of the searching using XPath. <pre><code>XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("/Menu/MenuItem"); </code></pre> In this case, <code>nodes</code> will contain all of the <code>MenuItem</code> elements that are a child of the top-level <code>Menu</code> element. <pre><code>XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("/Menu/MenuItem | /Menu/MenuItem/MenuItem"); </code></pre> In this case, <code>nodes</code> will contain all <code>MenuItem</code> elements that are children either of <code>Menu</code> or of a <code>MenuItem</code> that's a child of <code>Menu</code>. You can also find all <code>MenuItem</code> nodes that have no more than 1 <code>MenuItem</code> ancestor: <pre><code>XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("//MenuItem[count(ancestor::MenuItem) &lt; 2]"); </code></pre> Or you can just find all <code>MenuItem</code> nodes: <pre><code>XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("//MenuItem"); </code></pre> However you choose to select them, processing the elements works the same way: <pre><code>foreach (XmlElement elm in nodes) { myList.Add(new[] { elm.GetAttribute("Header"), elm.GetAttribute("Name") }); } </code></pre> So this suggests a way that you could encapsulate this as a method with the signature you suggest: <pre><code>public static List<IEnumerable<string>>ReadXML( string filename, string elementName, IEnumerable<string> attributes, bool searchSubNodes) { XmlDocument d = new XmlDocument(); d.Load(filename); string xpath = searchSubNodes ? "//" + elementName : "/*/elementName"; List<IEnumerable<string>> results = new List<IEnumerable<string>>(); foreach (XmlElement elm in d.SelectNodes(xpath)) { var values = from name in attributes select elm.GetAttribute(name); result.Add(values.ToArray()); } return result; } </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
