Accessing XML
Creating XML is one thing, but accessing it is another, and this section shows you how to do that in
Visual Basic. Navigating XML structures in LINQ to XML is quite easy in Visual Basic. To illustrate, add
another button to your form and place the following code in its click event:
Dim employee As XElement = _

Accessing element and attribute values is done through XML axis properties, which provide the capability
to navigate XML structures. These properties use a special syntax that helps access any element and
attribute by specifying XML names within your XML document.
