Parsing XML

[sspost]

I have an XML that looks like this

<DataUser>
<Create>
<Element>Common </Element>
<Display>Stat e Value</Display>
</Create>
</DataUser>

how do i parse it?
I used

Dim str as string = xmlDocument.Sel ectSingleNode("//Create/Element", nsmanager).Inne rText

but it gives "Object Refernce set to NULL " exception

what should i do ?

have you initialized the xmlDocument object?

[yes I did initialize it
here's rest of the code
<DataUser>
<Create>
<Element>Common </Element>
<Display>Stat e Value</Display>
</Create>
</DataUser>

Dim xmlDoc As New System.Xml.XmlD ocument
xmlDoc.LoadXml( myXML)

'Create a namespace manager

Dim nsManager As XmlNamespaceMan ager
nsManager = New XmlNamespaceMan ager(xmlDoc.Nam eTable)

nsManager.AddNa mespace("……….")


XmlNodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNo des("DataUser")


Dim Display as string = xmlDoc.SelectSi ngleNode("Creat e/Display", nsManager).Inne rText

what's wrong with the code? Anyone?
