Examples

Dim output As New StringBuilder()

Dim xmlString As String = _
    "<root>" & _
      "<item sale-item='true' productID='123456' colors='blue green black'>" & _
            "<price>9.95</price>" & _
        "</item>" & _
        "<item sale-item='false' productID='124390'>" & _
            "<price>5.95</price>" & _
        "</item>" & _
        "<item sale-item='true' productID='53298'>" & _
            "<price>12.95</price>" & _
        "</item>" & _
    "</root>"


Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(New StringReader(xmlString))

    reader.ReadToDescendant("item")
    Do
        reader.MoveToAttribute("sale-item")
        Dim onSale As Boolean = reader.ReadContentAsBoolean()
        If onSale Then
            output.AppendLine(reader("productID"))
        End If
    Loop While reader.ReadToNextSibling("item")

    OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
End Using

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

String xmlString =
    @"<root>
  <item sale-item='true' productID='123456' colors='blue green black'>
    <price>9.95</price>
  </item>
  <item sale-item='false' productID='124390'>
    <price>5.95</price>
  </item>
  <item sale-item='true' productID='53298'>
    <price>12.95</price>
  </item>
</root>";

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xmlString)))
{
    reader.ReadToDescendant("item");
    do
    {
        reader.MoveToAttribute("sale-item");
        Boolean onSale = reader.ReadContentAsBoolean();
        if (onSale)
        {
            output.AppendLine(reader["productID"]);
        }
    } while (reader.ReadToNextSibling("item"));

}

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
