Parse XML in c# depending on nodes on XmlElement

I need to parse the following xml : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Items>
        <Attr></Attr>
    <Items>
    <Goods>
        <Attr></Attr>
        <Attr></Attr>
        <Attr></Attr>
    </Goods>    
</Response>

This xml is stored on XmlReader output object . Is there any Function to get the first node element Items and store it in an xml element object say xmlelement1. And parse/loop through the xmlelement1 and perform actions.

If you can use LINQ to XML:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(xml);

XElement xelem1 = doc.Root.Element("Items");

foreach (XElement elem in xelem1.Elements())
    Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}, value: {1}", elem.Name, elem.Value);

Yep, use the XmlDocument:

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load("<<PathToXmlFileOnDisk>>");

or if you want to load a string of XML:

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml("<<XmlText>>");

Then go through the thing:

foreach(XmlNode node in xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("./Response").ChildNodes)
{
   ... //Once for each node under Response, then (Ex: Items has its own ChildNodes)
}
