Yes, you can just read the documentation of XMLReader in MSDN
www.msdn.com

Try this with a button & text box:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim m_Settings As New XmlReaderSettings()
m_Settings.ProhibitDtd = False
m_Settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.None

Dim m_reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create("C:\temp\myXML.xml", m_Settings)

While m_reader.Read()
Select Case m_reader.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Element
Exit Select
Case XmlNodeType.Text
TextBox1.Text += m_reader.Value + vbCrLf
Case XmlNodeType.EndElement
Exit Select
End Select
End While

End Sub
