                "</author> " & _
                "<price>8.99</price>" & _
            "</book>" & _
        "</bookstore>"

' Create an XmlReader

    reader.ReadToFollowing("title")
    output.AppendLine("Content of the title element: " + reader.ReadElementContentAsString())
End Using

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

String xmlString =
    @"<bookstore>
