Answer 1

The most efficient (and memory preserving) way to parse large XML documents is to use the XmlReader. Se the MSDN howto for a reasonable example.

The easiest way to parse an XML document is usually the XDocument class, but that class reads the whole document into memory at once and is not recommendable for large documents.
