Why do you want to move backwards through a file?
I'm not certain you can do it as most "readers" as sequential forward readers. You would have to start again and jump forward to the line in question.

You can't, see the description at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/system.xml.xmlreader[^]. If you want random access to your XML data then you should use the XML Document Object Model[^].
