Load XML File and turn into strings

Question

I have some trouble loading an XML File and turn it into string (like <XBoxIP></XBoxIP> and I want whats in between them); this is my xml file:

<?xml version="1-0" encoding="UTF8"?>
<Config>
    <XBoxIP></XBoxIP>
    <XBoxPort></XBoxPort>
    <XBoxUser></XBoxUser>
    <XBoxPassword></XBoxPassword>
    <XBoxSongPath></XBoxSongPath>
    <LocalSongPath></LocalSongPath>
</Config>

Or is my XML File maybe incorrect? Thanks for the help, i am new to C# and XML.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(path + "/Config.xml");
string xmlcontents = doc.InnerXml;

is the code im currently using, and i don't really know what to do after that.

@RufusL XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load(path + "/Config.xml"); string xmlcontents = doc.InnerXml; and i don't know what to do after that :/ — ChrisderWahre

On closer inspection, your XML is not valid or well-formed. Upload it to xmlvalidation.com and you will get an error XML version "1-0" is not supported, only XML 1.0 is supported. "1.0" and "1.1" are both recognized XML versions but "1-0" is not. See also dotnetfiddle.net/VK1aY0 that shows the same error with .Net. — dbc

I make slight change to your xml and i hope it will work for you.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> //make changes here
<Config>
    <XBoxIP></XBoxIP>
    <XBoxPort></XBoxPort>
    <XBoxUser></XBoxUser>
    <XBoxPassword></XBoxPassword>
    <XBoxSongPath></XBoxSongPath>
    <LocalSongPath></LocalSongPath>
</Config>

you can also used below property. The OuterXml property returns a string version of the xml.

xmlDoc.OuterXml;
