I am using Xdocument.

VB

Public Function ReadXML() As List(Of String)

        Dim list As New List(Of String)
        Dim m_xmld As XmlDocument
        Dim m_nodelist As XmlNodeList
        Dim m_node As XmlNode

        Dim SourceAttribute As String = ""
        Dim TargetAttribute As String = ""
        Dim PropertySource As String = ""
        Dim PropertyTarget As String = ""
        'Create the XML Document
        m_xmld = New XmlDocument()

        'Load the Xml file
        m_xmld.Load("C:\\MappingFile.xml")

        'Get the list of name nodes
        m_nodelist = m_xmld.SelectNodes("/Entities/Entity")
    .
    .
    .
    .

  Return list
    End Function

How can I do this?

Do this after you get the node list:

VB

Dim entSource As String
Dim propSource As String 
Dim propTarget As String 
For Each node As XmlNode In m_nodelist
    'Get the entity source value
     entSource = node.Attributes("Source").Value
    'list.Add(entSource);
    For Each childNode As XmlNode In node.ChildNodes
        'Get the property source value
        propSource  = childNode.Attributes("Source").Value
        'list.Add(propSource)
        'Get the property source value
        propTarget = childNode.Attributes("Target").Value
        'list.Add(propTarget)
    Next
Next

If you want to add it in some list, write list.Add(..) after each string declaration.
Hope this helps.
