Hi Jeet,\
You can use this code:\

```
using System;using System.Data;using System.Windows.Forms;using System.Xml; namespace WindowsApplication1{    public partial class Form1 : Form    {        public Form1()        {            InitializeComponent();        }         private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            XmlReader xmlFile;            xmlFile = XmlReader.Create("Product.xml", new XmlReaderSettings());            DataSet ds = new DataSet();            DataView dv;            ds.ReadXml(xmlFile);             dv = new DataView(ds.Tables[0]);            dv.Sort = "Product_Name";            int index = dv.Find("Product2");             if (index == -1)            {                MessageBox.Show("Item Not Found");            }            else            {                MessageBox.Show(dv[index]["Product_Name"].ToString() + " " + dv[index]["Product_Price"].ToString());             }        }    }}
```
