...and my stupidity...but how do you view an XML file?
I have some XML code and all I see is the code. Is it not meant to output something?

XML represents data. What would you like it to do? :)
You need to parse the data, extract what you want, and do something with it.
You can use XSL to display some formatted version of the XML.

Hmm I dunno...it was just a let down I guess that it doesn't really do much.
Although you can create groovy tree menus by importing an XML file into VB

XML only defines the way your data is stored, sorted or represented. It doesn't 'do' anything by itself. You have to parse it to extract the things you want. What XML does is make the parsing bit a lot easier by using easy to understand labeling to define chunks of data.
