XML Reader Variables VB.NET - vb.net

Question

Working on a management program for basic files and text.
Now, so far the program is saving information from multiple textboxes into an .xml file correctly.
My problem is where I need to load saved files back into Textboxes.
Here is another thread I made to Microsoft explaining my issue;
Right, so the code I currently have and use;
Private Sub Objectlist1_ItemActivate(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Objectlist1.ItemActivate
Caseworker.Show()
Me.Objectlist1.MultiSelect = False
Dim selectedListViewItem As String
selectedListViewItem = Me.Objectlist1.SelectedItems.Item(0).ToString
If (IO.File.Exists(selectedListViewItem + "C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Testfolder-data")) Then
Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader(selectedListViewItem + "C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Testfolder-data")
While (document.Read())
Dim type = document.NodeType
If (type = XmlNodeType.Element) Then
If (document.Name = "Person") Then
Caseworker.Pholderbox.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
If (document.Name = "Driver") Then
Caseworker.Driverbox.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
Problem here is that I want to be able to click a file in the Listview called "Objectlist1" and the program loads the xml file - Instead of directing the program to One file
As such
If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml)
Apparently there is this variable out there that would be perfect for my issue, but I have looked for it for 2 working days and not been able to track it down.
If there is another stuff I need to add to make this thing work, I appreciate any help you can provide.
Am I far off here guys?

A few things:
You need the full path to the XMLFile, not just its name. You could do it like this (warning: untested):
const string basepath= #"C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Testfolder-data"
xmlpath = IO.Path.Combine(basepath, Objectlist1.SelectedItems.Item(0).Text)
If(IO.File.Exists(xmlpath))
Instead of multiple Ifs, I would recommend
switch(document.Name)
{
Case "Person":
Caseworker.Pholderbox.Text=...
break;
Case "Driver":
...
}
If you rename "Pholderbox" to "Personbox", you could spare the entire If/switch and simply do something like:
var textbox = document.name + "box";
(TextBox)Caseworker.Controls[textbox].Text=document.InnerText;
Hope this gets you going.
