簡單的一個應用例子 ，只是簡單的操作xml文件，在實際的應用上可以先建一個配置類保存狀態。

xml文件的結構：

1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
2  <config>
3  <function name="a" checked="false" />
4  <function name="b" checked="false" />
5  <function name="c" checked="false" />
6  <function name="d" checked="false" />
7  </config>

具體的程序：需要一個checkedlistbox,兩個button

 1    public doc as new xmldocument
2    public rootnode as xmlelement
3    public strpathconfig as string = application.startuppath & "/config.xml"
4    public intnum as int16
5    private sub button1_click()sub button1_click(byval sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles button1.click
6        writeconfig()
7    end sub
8    private sub form1_load()sub form1_load(byval sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles mybase.load
9        '做準備工作
10        doc.load(strpathconfig)
11        rootnode = doc.documentelement
12        intnum = rootnode.childnodes.count - 1
13        '
14        loadconfig()
15    end sub
16    '添加到checkedlistbox
17    function loadconfig()function loadconfig()
18        dim i as int16
19        for i = 0 to intnum
20            checkedlistbox1.items.add(rootnode.childnodes(i).attributes(0).value, ctype(rootnode.childnodes(i).attributes(1).value, boolean))
21        next
22    end function
23    '確定，然后寫入xml
24    function writeconfig()function writeconfig()
25        dim i as int16
26        dim str as string
27        for i = 0 to intnum
28            rootnode.childnodes(i).attributes(1).value = checkedlistbox1.getitemchecked(i).tostring
29        next
30        doc.save(strpathconfig)
31    end function
32
33    private sub button2_click()sub button2_click(byval sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles button2.click
34        '需要清除checkedlistbox內的items
35        checkedlistbox1.items.clear()
36        loadconfig()
37    end sub
