I have an webbrowser, and I want to save the start page into an XML file...

I have a textbox where I can input the start page url and an "apply" button, I got the apply button to work, and the URL saves into my_start_url.xml.

With this code [that works perfect]

 ' The XmlTextWriter that will build the XML file
		Dim myXmlWriter As New Xml.XmlTextWriter(Application.StartupPath + "\my_start_url.xml", Nothing)

		' Start writing the document
		myXmlWriter.WriteStartDocument()
		' Add the root node
		myXmlWriter.WriteStartElement("urls")

		myXmlWriter.WriteStartElement("url")
		myXmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("string", Nothing, Me.HomeUrl.Text)
		myXmlWriter.WriteEndElement()

		' Write the end elements and finish writing the document
		myXmlWriter.WriteEndElement()
		myXmlWriter.WriteEndDocument()
		myXmlWriter.Close()

So I can save the text box input in the XML file, but now I'm working on displaying the XML data into the text box.
And it's not going so well What I actually want to achieve is that the same text box used to make the my_start_url.xml can load the xml entry into the text box when the Options form loads. If any questions regarding this, then please feel free to ask.

I used the following code [wich doesn't work right, see the File Attachment]

	Private Sub Options_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

		' Create a new instance of XmlDocument
		Dim myXmlDocument As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument()

		' This will handle XML nodes in the XML file
		Dim myNode As Xml.XmlNode

		' This will contain the URL from the XML attribute
		Dim URL As String

		' Load the XML document
		myXmldocument.Load(Application.StartupPath + "\my_start_url.xml")

		' Load the URL into the textbox.

		URL = myNode.Attributes("string").InnerText
		HomeUrl.Text = URL


	End Sub

EDIT:
Here's the XML file "my_start_url.xml"

  <?xml version="1.0" ?> 
- <urls>
  <url string="http://www.cilisoft.tk" /> 
  </urls>

Can anyone help me please? I would really appreciate that loads! Thank you

Before you can use the XML node and actually read a string from one of its attributes, you have to select the node. In this case, if you need to select only one node and assign it to myNode, you should use this code:

		myNode = myXmldocument.SelectSingleNode("/urls/url")
