How To Get The Values of The XML Tags

This document provides code to retrieve tag values from an XML file. It loads an XML file called "sample.xml" using the Microsoft XML DOM object. It then uses the SelectNodes method and XPath queries to retrieve the text values of specific tags, like "/catalog/book/author" to get all author names. Message boxes display the number of matching nodes and their values. This allows extracting data from the XML tags without having to parse the file contents directly.
