Sorry, it's in c# as I don't use vb.net. The class libraries are all the
same, though, so it should be easy to get working in vb

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;

namespace xmlread
{
   class Program
   {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
           doc.Load(args[0]);
           Console.WriteLine(doc.Name);
           OutputNodes(doc.ChildNodes, 1);
       }

       private static void OutputNodes(XmlNodeList nodes, int IndentLevel)
       {
           if (nodes == null) { return; }

           string s = new string('\t', IndentLevel);

           foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
           {
               if (node.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
               {
                   Console.WriteLine("{0}{1} = {2}", s, node.Name,
node.InnerText);
               }
               OutputNodes(node.ChildNodes, IndentLevel + 1);
           }
       }
   }
}
