hey guys,
Sorry to come back to this again.
I was pointed to xmlreader last week to parse an XML file, but i'm struggling to wrap my head around this.
I can get the 'jobid' out of XML which was where i needed to start...
So that works fine, but once I have the jobid, I need to use that to check that the job succeeded, which returns yet more xml.
This time i need to pull a few bits of info, but i cant work out how to mod the existing code to work for me.
the XML looks like this...

The info i need to retrieve here is under the <virtualmachine> tag is is :
state
hostname
cpunumber
cpuspeed
memory
netmask
gateway
ipaddress
instancename
templatename
Any help is appriciated guys.
Thanks
Jonny

Code:
Dim doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
doc.LoadXml(api_result) ''api_result contains xml returned from a http request.
Dim new_vm_jobidxml = doc.GetElementsByTagName("jobid")
For Each item As System.Xml.XmlElement In new_vm_jobidxml
new_vm_jobid = item.ChildNodes(0).InnerText()This time i need to pull a few bits of info, but i cant work out how to mod the existing code to work for me.
