XML To Text in VB .NET

Here is my code in VB .NET:

'When the "Save" button is clicked an XML document is created
'from the values on the Form
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _
System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
'create a new ticket object
Dim ticket As New Ticket()
'copy the values from the form into the ticket
PopulateTicketFromForm(ticket)
'save the ticket
Dim filename As String = DataFilename
ticket.Save(filename)
'tell the user
MsgBox("The ticket was saved to " & filename)
End Sub

'DataFilename - where the Data is stored
Public ReadOnly Property DataFilename() As String
Get
'get the working folder
Dim folder As String
folder = Environment.CurrentDirectory
'return the folder with the name "MSTicketDetail.xml"
Return folder & "\MSTicketDetail.xml"
End Get
End Property

'PopulateTicketFromForm - populates the Ticket from the form fields
Public Sub PopulateTicketFromForm(ByVal ticket As Ticket)
'copy the values
ticket.CompanyNumber = cboCoNum.Text
ticket.Month = cboMonth.Text
ticket.TransNum = txtTransNum.Text
End Sub

Here is the XML document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Ticket xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CuompanyNumber>50</CuompanyNumber>
<Month>Octo</Month>
<TransNum>123456</TransNum>
</Ticket>

In case you haven't realized, I am new at XML & .NET

Thanks again!

I assume the ticket.Save method saves an XML file such as the one you
included. That;s *already* a text file. Does the ticket class have a
corresponding Load or Read method? What exactly is it that you want to do
with the saved ticket XML file?
