Thanks.
I have writen it.
my code is as follows:


/******* Working on XML Reading ********/

					XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(Server.MapPath("~/Uploaded_File/" + fileName));
					XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();	
					XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(nav.NameTable);
					nsmgr.AddNamespace("S", "http://www.filemaker.com/fmpxmlresult");

					XPathExpression expr = nav.Compile("S:FMPXMLRESULT//S:ROW");
					expr.SetContext(nsmgr);
					XPathNodeIterator rows = nav.Select(expr);

					XPathExpression exprIn = nav.Compile("//S:COL");
					exprIn.SetContext(nsmgr);
					while (rows.MoveNext())
					{
						XPathNodeIterator cols = rows.Current.Select(exprIn);
						string MODID = rows.Current.GetAttribute("MODID", "");	
						XPathExpression exprFinal = nav.Compile("S:DATA");
						exprFinal.SetContext(nsmgr);
						while (cols.MoveNext())
						{	
									string DATA =GetInnerXml(cols.Current.Select(exprFinal).Current);
						} 					             
					}

I would suggest using XDocument and Linq 2 XML. It will save you a lot of time in the future

I must agree. Linq adds another color to the rainbow. Linq clones unicorns. Linq makes the word “incurable” passé.
