1- You can load into XML DOM
2- RegExp
or
3 If you have this

string tt =

>"; // TextBox.Text;

int startTagPos = tt.IndexOf("<EarlyStart>");

int endTagPos = tt.IndexOf("</EarlyStart>");

int EarlyStartLen = endTagPos - startTagPos - 12;

string EarlyStart = tt.Substring(startTagPos + 12, endTagPos - startTagPos -
12);

Also I notice you have an extra space in </EarlyStart > "t >"

1- You can load into XML DOM, could be overkill
2- RegExp
or
3 If you have this

Dim tt as string = DemoYourTextBoxID.Text

Dim startTagPos as integer = tt.IndexOf("<EarlyStart>")

Dim endTagPos as integer = tt.IndexOf("</EarlyStart>");

Dim EarlyStartLen as integer = endTagPos - startTagPos - 12;

Dim EarlyStart as string = tt.Substring(startTagPos + 12, EarlyStartLen);

Hi LVP,
the question is that how to get this xml as there is no textbox in real
production environment and this xml message will come through internet via
http protocol.
tHIS PAGE dont play any role in actual production environment and this is
just asumption that we r goign to process the message of production (present
in this text box) through this page but in actual the same xmlmessage
willcome through http protocol... then how to get the xml message through
request object like request.form.getvalues(...).....Kinldy tell me i would be
highly helped by this?
