        {

            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

            doc.Load(FilePath);

            XmlNodeList xmlnode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("LOB");

            for (int i = 0; i <= xmlnode.Count - 1; i++)

            {

               Console.WriteLine(xmlnode[i].ChildNodes.Item(0)

                                             .InnerText.Trim());
