Yes, if there are nodes within a node, .InnerText will return...
The InnerText, which will include the XML mark up used to define those
nodes.
There is a way however to just get the text not inside of any child nodes.
The text is actually in a node called #text.
The xpath expression to get it is text(), so to get the text portion of your
ChildNodes(1) would be...
Dim strValue as String = oNode.ChildNodes
(1).SelectSingleNode("text()").Value
Of course, this will return nothing if there is no text, so you'll want to
put a little logic around it.
