Question

When i try read my xml file it seems to reads it twice and im unsure on how to fix such an error. I thought i can have some sort of loop but im still lost. Any help would be appreciated ty. – It writes the xml file correctly but the duplicate occurs when it reads it.

String workingDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
XmlTextReader textReader = new XmlTextReader(workingDir + @"\xmldoc.xml");

Console.WriteLine("BaseURI:" + textReader.BaseURI);
textReader.Read();

while (textReader.Read())
{
    if (textReader.Name == "test")
    {

        textReader.Read();
        XmlNodeType nType = textReader.NodeType;

        if (nType == XmlNodeType.Text)
        {
            //   label.Text = textReader.Value.ToString();
            Label l = new Label();
            System.Drawing.Point l1 = new System.Drawing.Point(15, 13 + a);
            l.Location = l1;
            l.Text = textReader.Value.ToString();

            a += 20;
        }

What makes you think some entries are read twice? If it is the case, also check if this method is not called twice (shift + F12 in Visual Studio to find usage).
Also, it seems that the piece of code you joined here is not complete (no declaration of variable ‘a’). Do you have some code executed under the if (textReader.Name == "test") that would do the same operations?
