Solution 2

Try following code

XML

XmlDcoument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load("YourXml.XML");
 
XmlNode xNode = xDoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("dtable[id=2]");

This will give you the dtable node which has id=2

Now, to read the other node use following

XML

foreach (XmlNode child in xNode)
{
   Response.Write(child.LocalName);
   Response.Write(":");
   Response.Write(child.InnerText);
   Response.Write("\n");
}

Hope that helps. If it does, mark the answer as solution and/or upvote.

m getting error for "Response" that : "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.UI.Page.Response.get" can you make it out?

Rohan, Response.write, I am just using to show the value. You can use child.LocalName and Child.InnerText to use the child node value the way you want. Hope that helps
