hi i'm working on visual studio 2005 windows application and i have to open xml file that i created before by pressing on button i tried laodxml("XMLFile") but it did not work and i'm a beginner in vb.net how can i do that?

Are you using an openfileDialog? If so you can just use the openFileDialog to select the xml, and when you call the loadxml function, just use the openfileDialog.Filename to pass the file for it to load. Post some code / error msgs if u still have questions
