I have an external xml feed that is pretty poorly structured so Im not sure how to deserialize it directly.

I can not use System.IO.Linq in my assembly so the only solution I know of cant be used.

Example of this xml is

<body>
    <route>
        <stop tag="Info I need to get"/>
        <stop tag="Info I need to get"/>
        <path>
            <point tag="info I need to get"/>
            <point tag="info I need to get"/>
            <point tag="info I need to get"/>
        </path>
        <path>
            <point tag="info I need to get"/>
        </path>
        <path>
            <point tag="info I need to get"/>
            <point tag="info I need to get"/>
        </path>
    </route>
</body>

if I could somehow parse all the path points into an array I can get the data inside the tags easily.

the linq solution I was refering to is mentioned at How to parse multiple single xml elements in .Net C#

    You can use XPath to select all nodes having tag attribute

    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("myfile.xml");

foreach (XmlElement node in doc.SelectNodes("//*[@tag]"))
{
    Console.WriteLine(node.Name + ": " + node.GetAttribute("tag"));
}
