                    case XmlNodeType.Element:
                        // You may need to capture the last element to provide a context
                        // for any comments you come across... so copy xmlRdr.Name, etc.
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.Comment:
                        MessageBox.Show(xmlRdr.Name);

                    case XmlNodeType.Text: //Display the text in each element.
                        //Console.WriteLine(reader.Value);
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.EndElement: //Display the end of the element.
                        //Console.Write("</" + reader.Name);
                        //Console.WriteLine(">");

try this

String xml = @"<Server ServerName=""SP-SWD-T01"">Some nodes are there</Server>";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
String servername = doc.SelectSingleNode("/Server").Attributes["ServerName"].Value;
