Medtronic C# Program Home Stretch!

My group is working on a project for Medtronic that requires us to make a C# program that will extract the important data from an XML file created from data off of a pacemaker, so that the user viewing it can make sense of it in a relatively quicker time than their previous way of viewing it in XML form. After all of the hours put in to watching C# tutorials, making various different fun programs, reading pages of how to do's... I am finally nearing the finishing steps of my C# program. It is supposed to import an XML File from the computer (check), filter through the data for the important data, display the data for the user (check), and export it into an Excel file (check). In order to get the proper tag names from Medtronic, we have to sign a CDA (Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement). However, the CDA has not arrived yet... Filtering through the data is not a simple task though. In order to do this I made a while loop that will read one line at a time until there is no data lines left. While it is reading, it goes through multiple if statements (that require the real tagnames) and if a tagname matches the if statement, it will export that node's inner text into an Excel cell in the user friendly, easy-to-read Excel document. So close, and yet... so far away! Where, oh where are you CDA?!? I hope you are near!
