How do I convert XML to string and get the element value?

Example XML

<Example>
  <Option1>x</Option1>
  <Option2>y</Option2>
  <Option3>z</Option3>
</Example>

.

If i wanted to get

option1 it would return x,

option2 returns y,

option3 returns z.

etc....

• A simple way to do it:

  using System;
  using System.Xml;
  
  class Test {
      static void Main ()
      {
          string s = "<Example> <Option1>x</Option1> <Option2>y</Option2> <Option3>z</Option3></Example>";
          XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument (); 
          doc.LoadXml (s);
          XmlNode n = doc.SelectSingleNode ("Example/Option1");
          Console.WriteLine (n.InnerText);
      }
  }
  

  This will print x.
