protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(Server.MapPath("SyntaxHelp.xml"));
    //XmlText Reader reads the file node by node
           while (reader.Read())
            {
               switch (reader.NodeType)
               {
case XmlNodeType.Element: // The node is an element.
                    //do something
Response.Write(reader.Name+" -Element " );
Response.Write("
");
                      break;
case XmlNodeType.Text: //Display the text in each element.   
        //Do something
Response.Write( reader.Value + " -Node 
");
                      break;
case XmlNodeType.EndElement: //Display the end of the element.           //Do something
Response.Write(reader.Name +" -End element");
Response.Write("
");
