Reading Repeating Nodes by XMLReader

Hi,

I am trying to read the below XML and trying to create multiple XML's from it based on the no of repeating nodes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <response status="1" xmlns="SomeNameSpace"> 

- <dam-schedule calculation="Wed May 28 15:32:16 CEST 2014" calculation_tz="2014-05-28 15:32:16 +0200" deliverydate="2014-05-30 00:00:00"> 

- <participants> 

- <participant id="800" name="ABC" shortname="A"> 

- <areas> 

- <area id="EN"> 

- <blocks bidclosingtme="Thu May 29 13:00:00 CEST 2014" currencyid="INR" portfolioname="AP" portfolioshortname="AP"> 

- <block bid-block-price="40.6" bid-price="50.0" bid-vol="50.0" currencyid="GBP" exgroupid="" from="2014-05-30 08:00:00 +0200" id="B0920" isparadoxicallyrejected="false" portfolioname="ACC_PA1" portfolioshortname="ACC_PA1" ref="W0528005-" reportpricedecimals="2" to="2014-05-30 20:00:00 +0200" user="ACC_TA1" vwap="40.6">

I am using the following code to read the XML:

stringnameSpace = null;
DateTime? deliveryDate = null;
            
DateTime? tradePlaceDate = null;
            
stringcompanyName = null;
            
varblocks = newList<string>();
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlFileName);
                while (reader.Read())
                {
                    if (reader.LocalName == "response" && reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                    {
                        nameSpace = reader.GetAttribute("xmlns").ToString();
                        Console.WriteLine("namespace", nameSpace);
                    }

                    if (reader.LocalName == "dam-schedule" && reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                    {
                        deliveryDate = System.Convert.ToDateTime(reader.GetAttribute("deliverydate"));
                        tradePlaceDate = System.Convert.ToDateTime(reader.GetAttribute("calculation_tz"));
                        Console.WriteLine("del", deliveryDate.ToString());
                    }

                    if (reader.LocalName == "participant" && reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                    {
                        companyName = reader.GetAttribute("shortname");
                    }

                    if (reader.LocalName == "block" && reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                    {
                        XmlReader inner = reader.ReadSubtree(;
                        inner.Read();
                        blocks.Add(inner.ReadOuterXml());
                        inner.Close();
                    }

                }
