This is my xml

  <INQUIRY-STATUS>
    <INQUIRY>
      <INQUIRY-UNIQUE-REF-NO>006f000026EGk88JJFS99115740</INQUIRY-UNIQUE-REF-NO>

      <RESPONSE-TYPE>ACKNOWLEDGEMENT</RESPONSE-TYPE>
    </INQUIRY>
  </INQUIRY-STATUS>
</REPORT-FILE>

What I have tried:

C#

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
       doc.LoadXml(dataPacket);

       //root of the xml <DATAPACKET>
       XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
       //using xpath to get data I want https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms256115%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
       PacketRequestId = Int32.Parse(root.SelectSingleNode("@REQUEST-ID").InnerText);
       PacketReferenceNumber = Int32.Parse(root.SelectSingleNode("@REFERENCE-NO").InnerText);

       XmlNode responseType = root.SelectSingleNode(@"HEADER/RESPONSE-TYPE");
       HeaderResponseTypeCode = Int32.Parse(responseType.SelectSingleNode("@CODE").InnerText);
       HeaderResponseTypeDescription = responseType.SelectSingleNode("@DESCRIPTION").InnerText;

What do you mean "how to read this"? Unless you have a problem with your code, the answer is, just like you are doing.

Okay so go ahead and do that. We can't read your mind to know what your problem might possibly be.

What you've posted isn't valid XML, also there is little correlation between what you've posted and the code.

We don't know how to read from an xml file we can't see, the snippet you posted isn't enough for anyone to help you with. Reading xml is a very well-documented task, I'm sure googling will get you the answers.

If that's really exactly what the file looks like, that's not XML.

There are no closing tags for any of the opening tags.

C#

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
               
               xmlDoc.LoadXml(xmlstring);
               XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("REPORT-FILE/INQUIRY-STATUS/INQUIRY");

foreach (XmlNode node in nodeList)
{
string nodevalue= node.SelectSingleNode("INQUIRY-UNIQUE-REF-NO").InnerText;
}
                        {
