dotnet xml: I'm reading a 20Mb xml file in vb.net using .net framework 1.1
But when I'm opening that file for the second time, memory consuption goes
wild...

Do I need to take newer .net framework, or to close XMLDocument on another
way?
(I'm accessing data using XMLDocument & XMLElement)

Is it better to use some another XML parser that the built in system.XML
namespace?

Yes, instead of loading the whole document in memeory, process it in a
streaming way using XmlReader.
