這段代碼在C:/Temp目錄中尋找名為Convert.xml的XML文件：

Dim xmlDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()

xmlDoc.Load("c:/temp/Convert.xml")

Dim newString As String
newString = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//String").InnerText
Debug.WriteLine(newString)

Dim newInteger As Integer
newInteger = System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToInt32( _
xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Integer").InnerText)
Debug.WriteLine(newInteger)

Dim newDouble As Double
newDouble = System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToDouble( _
xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Double").InnerText)
Debug.WriteLine(newDouble)

Dim newDate As DateTime
newDate = System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToDateTime( _
xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Date").InnerText)
Debug.WriteLine(newDate)
