Creating a console application displaying XML document

Question

I need help in creating a console application, where I have to get a list of items from a XML document using a server, remote and client. I have already created a XML document

XML document looks like this:

<clothing>
   <pants>Jeans</pants>
   <shirt>T-Shirt</shirt>
   <shoes>Boots</shoes>
</clothing>

Now my question is where do I go from here? I understand the basics but don't know how to proceed with this, any help will be appreciated, thanks.

MSDN contains some notes on how to [start reading Xml documents](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189056.aspx). Also, there is an extensive [tutorial on C# Corner](http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mahesh/ReadWriteXMLTutMellli2111282005041517AM/ReadWriteXMLTutMellli21.aspx) on the topic. — O. R.

@tnw not asking how to do the rest of it, just asking where do I go from here? I just need a starting point to work from. — Yi-Nain Chen, May 20 '13 at 14:23
@Yi-NainChen Like I said, look up examples and documentation. Perhaps Google [C# parse xml](https://www.google.com/search?q=c%23+parse+xml&aq=f&oq=c%23+parse+xml&aqs=chrome.0.57j58j60l3j61.2258j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) and go from there. — tnw, May 20 '13 at 14:25

For tips on creating a console application, see How to: Create a C# Console Application. To read an XML file, look into XDocument.Load. There are samples in the XmlDocument documentation that will show you how to get individual elements and attributes from the document.

For client/server communications, it's hard to say. Probably you want something like TcpListener.

That should at least get you a starting place.
