Hi All

VS 2005 SP1 (C#, VB.NET)

I need the absolut fastest way of loading an xml-file of about 700KB into an
array.

I need to load about 1500 of those xml-Files into arrays on startup of my
application.
Therefore it needs to be as fast as possible.
Please also tell me if the xml structure can be improved.

the xml looks like:
y: Year
m: Month
h: Hour
value

Use XmlReader to pull in the data. Your code will need to push the data
the XmlReader delivers into an array.

Yes, XmlReader provides fast, non-cached, forward-only access to XML data.

Hope this helps.
