Hello,
Here's a line from my .xml <DocumentType>6</DocumentType>
I need to read the xml and get the value "6" to be outputted in a csv or text file. Then I want to read the "6" into a vbscript. How is vbscript and vb.net different? Thank you.

Here's code in VB.NET. It's not reading anything yet?

 Try
                Dim objTxtRd = New XmlTextReader(strFilePath)

                While (objTxtRd.Read())
                    If (objTxtRd.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Text) Then
                        If (objTxtRd.Name = "DocumentType") Then
                            ListBox1.Items.Add("document type ID is" & objTxtRd.Value & ".")
                        End If
                    End If
                End While
            Catch err As Exception
                errmsg = errmsg + "Error occurred while reading " & strFilePath & " " _
                ListBox1.Items.Add(errmsg)
            Finally
                If Not objTxtRd Is Nothing Then
                    objTxtRd.Close()
                End If
End Try

Thank you very much.

Explaining how VB and VB.NET is different would take a book... In fact there are quite a few out there that exist :). In any case- what happens when you run this?
