Answer 1

if your XML file will have always this structre you can use simply:

        string version = "";
        int n = 0;

        using (DataSet ds = new DataSet())
        {
            ds.ReadXml(@"sample.xml");
            if(ds.Tables.Contains("ManagedObject") 
               && ds.Tables["ManagedObject"].Rows.Count > n)
            {
                ver = ds.Tables["ManagedObject"].Rows[n]["version"].ToString();
            }
        }

to get the n-th ManagedObject version.

in your case you have only 1, so n = 0.

if you want to add "version" as an item that will appear in the first column of the listview:

        listView1.Items.Add(version);

if "version" is to be added to an existing item in a secondary column use:

        listview1.Items[n].SubItems.Add(version);

you can look here for further details.

this will also work fine

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(@"F:\xml\sample.xml");
        XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
        nsmgr.AddNamespace("sam", "http://tempuri.org/DataSchema.xsd");
        XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode(
            "/sam:DataSchema/sam:ManagedObject/sam:version", nsmgr);
        string version = node == null ? null : node.InnerText;

        _listview.Items.Add(version);
