body: <p>How to access an XML file in C#?
  How to count the number of nodes in that xml file?
  How am i supposed to access each and every node in that xml file?</p>
  
  <p>I have two xml files, one of them is dev.xml which has this code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Devanagri_to_itrans&gt;
    &lt;mapping&gt;
      &lt;character&gt;अ&lt;/character&gt;
      &lt;itrans&gt;a&lt;/itrans&gt;
    &lt;/mapping&gt;
    ...
  &lt;/Devanagri_to_itrans&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the second file is guj.xml (with a very similar structure)</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Gujrathi_to_itrans&gt;
    &lt;mapping&gt;
       &lt;character&gt;અ&lt;/character&gt;
       &lt;itrans&gt;a&lt;/itrans&gt;
    &lt;mapping&gt;
    ...
  &lt;/Gujrathi_to_itrans&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to turn this into a two-dimension arraying of the character mappings.</p>
