XMLTextReader not reading

[edamron]

I wish to use a simple xml file as a configuration file for a small
application. The application writes a default xml file if it doesn't
find the configuration file but when it reads the file it doesn't
return any values. I have verified that the file is there and in the
place the code expects it to be.

The code that reads the file:
Private Sub ReadConfig()
Dim s As String = Application.Sta rtupPath() +
"\TranscriptArc hiveConfig.xml"
Dim xmlReader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(s )

xmlReader.MoveT oContent()
days = xmlReader.GetAt tribute("DaysFi naled")
destinationPath = xmlReader.GetAt tribute("Destin ationPath")
originalTranscr iptPath =
xmlReader.GetAt tribute("Origin alTranscriptPat h")
originalPre94Pa th = xmlReader.GetAt tribute("Origin alPre94Path")
size = xmlReader.GetAt tribute("MediaS ize")
serverName = xmlReader.GetAt tribute("Server Name")
databaseName = xmlReader.GetAt tribute("Databa seName")
xmlReader.Close ()
End Sub


The xml file:

<TranscriptArch iveConfiguratio n>
<GeneralConfigu ration DaysFinaled="60 "
DestinationPath ="C:\MoveTrans\ " OriginalTranscr iptPath="Z:\Tra ns\"
OriginalPre94Pa th="Z:\Trans\Pr e94\" MediaSize="650" />
<DatabaseConfig uration ServerName="bii adboly04" DatabaseName="B AIS"
/>
</TranscriptArchi veConfiguration >

Thanks for any help.
