Idiot + C# + xml = stuck

[Jono]

Hi,

I'm trying to do something that's (probably) very simple, except today I'm totally rubbish and getting nowhere - mind on other things.
Take this example xml

<serverconfig>
  <servername />
  <username />
  <password />
</serverconfig>
<recipients>
  <recipient>
    <emailaddress />
    <trigger />
  </recipient>
  <recipient>
    <emailaddress />
    <trigger />
  </recipient>
  <recipient>
    <emailaddress />
    <trigger />
  </recipient>
</recipients>

What I need to do and can't work out how to because i'm retarded is read in this file, then get all the bits of stuff out I need from the serverconfig section, then do a foreach (recipients) ... do something.

Can someone explain to me in words of one syllable or with large print and pictures how to do this - with code if necessary/you don't mind.

Thanks in advance

why don't you deserialize the xml into an object?

That worked. I used xsd and bit confused by its output but it all seems to work.
