C# function for moving to specific line in a WebBrowser form

I am working on an application to test Web Service requests. The people who would be using this application have asked to be able to view the Raw XML of the requests/responses from the Web Service, and to do so I am using a WebBrowser and simply pointing it to a file that stores a running record of all the XML requests/responses. This allows the window to collapse and expand XML elements, and offers native color coding.
My issue is that I want to be able to jump to a specific line, or specific XML entry in the browser view. So far I have not been able to find anything that allows line navigation in this form. I thought that maybe I could just implement a search function that just searches for the entry in the WebBrowser, but it doesn't look like searching is supported either. Is there a method that allows similar functionality to what I want? Or is there a way to work around this?
--EDIT--
I have added some sample code of what I tried from the solution below. Below is a sample of the XML I want to parse, followed by my implementation of the suggested solution. I am searching for the "SAMP_DriverDetail_07-08-2019_T_14-51-19" entry.

Deserialize an xml file or parse using linq to xml

Simplified XML file I need to decode:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ns2:deliverylistResponse xmlns:ns2="http://tdriverap3.wsbeans.iseries/">
<return>
<COUNT>3</COUNT>
<DELIVERIES>
<ADD1>1300 address 1</ADD1>
<CITY>NICE CITY</CITY>
<ZIP>85705</ZIP>
</DELIVERIES>
<DELIVERIES>
<ADD1>40 S PINAL PKWY AVE</ADD1>
<CITY>FLORENCE</CITY>
<ZIP>85132</ZIP>
</DELIVERIES>
<DELIVERIES>
<ADD1>1825 EAST MAIN</ADD1>
<CITY>CHANDLER</CITY>
<ZIP>85286</ZIP>
</DELIVERIES>
<ERRORCODE/>
<RUNDATE>09/26/2018</RUNDATE>
</return>
</ns2:deliverylistResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I am using the following to try and decode each of the individual addresses in the code.
I cannot figure out how to access them.
XElement xelement = XElement.Load(#"e:\test\X2.xml");
IEnumerable<XElement> addresses = xelement.Elements();
foreach (var address in addresses)
{
Console.WriteLine(address);
Console.WriteLine(address.Element("CITY").Value);
}
The first writeline works (it outputs the entire XML tree), the second says "System.Xml.Linq.XContainer.Element(...) returned null" - I have tried using DELIVERIES, COUNT, Body etc...
Obviously I am not telling it correctly how to traverse the structure, but I do not know how to go any further with it..
UPDATE: Thanks to some help I have figured out how to do it using Linq.
I would still like to be able to deserialize it if anybody has a pointer.
I followed several tutorials, but the multiple levels of this XML seems to be throwing me off.
I have created a class to hold the data but that is as far as my success with that path has gone.
Thank you,
Joe

Thank you Crowcoder -- this is what I wound up with, which will work.
The real XML file however does have about 60 fields so this is not as good as using a deserialize routine but I can at least move forward with the project.
XElement xelement = XElement.Load(#"e:\test\x2.xml");
IEnumerable<XElement> textSegs =
from seg in xelement.Descendants("DELIVERIES")
select seg;
foreach (var address in textSegs)
{
Console.WriteLine(address.Element("ADD1").Value);
Console.WriteLine(address.Element("CITY").Value);
Console.WriteLine(address.Element("ZIP").Value);
}
Console.ReadKey();

Creating XML Banking document from template

I have this template from a bank that is used to make payments on bank account transfers.
See xml below. I have included the sample data that has to be entered when sending the file to the bank.

The file is quite long as has to be in the format given. The black letters represent the details to be passed to the xml. To test if I understood what data goes where I filled it manually and sent to bank for testing. That is all good now.
I have a SAP addon program that captures details from a form and generates a list. Each payment must follow this structure.
Looking at the below:
<Nm>CART LIMITED</Nm>
<Id>
<OrgId>
<Othr>
<Id>S001234/PJones</Id>
<SchmeNm>
<Cd>CUST</Cd>
</SchmeNm>
</Othr>
</OrgId>
</Id>
Is creating a class with all properties according to the template the best way to create the xml needed.
How do I stagger the
<Id>
<OrgId>
<Othr>
as in the case above?
Also the <CtrlSum>667896.00</CtrlSum> is found in the group header and payment info tags. How do I deal with this?

For what i see, the problem is you have a addon in SAP to specify multiple payments methods, but in the XML template given from the bank you don't the structure for multiple payments, so you need to get this information to know how can you work with it.
when you have this information you can use a better XML template with VS or another tool to generate the correct class to work with the XML

Preparing XSD of a complex xml

Thank you all for suggesting things and helping whenever in need.
Yesterday I was trying to develop and web app in asp.net 4.0 where I needed to parse the data from xml and save it in database. But before that I will also have to validate it.
I tried using .net provided tool xsd.exe to generate the schema file, but I dont know how will it know to mark which nodes or attributes are compulsory?
Like in my xml below items are mandatory
Root node <Market>
<Login> and its sub element
<ProductType> and its <ProductTypeID/>
The attribute DML is mandatory but should have only 3 values NONE, PUT or MODIFY
<ProductType> may or may not have <ProductItem>
If <ProductItem> is present then it should have <ProductItemID>
<ProductItem> may or may not have <Brand>
If <Brand> is present then it should have <BrandID>
Below is my xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Market>
<Login>
<LoginId />
<Password />
</Login>
<ProductType DML="NONE">
<ProductTypeID/>
<Name/>
<Detail/>
<ProductItem DML="PUT">
<ProductItemID/>
<Name/>
<Detail/>
<Brand DML="PUT">
<BrandID/>
<Name/>
<Detail/>
</Brand>
<Brand DML="MODIFY">
<BrandID/>
<Name/>
<Detail/>
</Brand>
</ProductItem>
<ProductItem DML="MODIFY">
<ProductItemID/>
<Name/>
<Detail/>
</ProductItem>
</ProductType>
</Market>
How and where should I specify all the mandatory and optional parameters, so that my xsd is generated as per the requirement.
Thanks,
M.

xsd.exe can only try to infer, which elements/attributes are in you xml, but it cannot find out which information is mandatory. But this is a good startingpoint.
use a graphical XML_Schema_Editor to edit the genrated xsd to mark your mandatory fields. That is much easier than learning the xsd-language

I don't think XSD support nested XML. I would try to load the XML into an XmlDocument and check mandatory fields manually.

Pivotviewer's .cxml parsing

I'm trying to do very simple operations on a .cxml file. As you know it's basically an .xml file. This is a sample file I created to test the application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Collection xmlns:p="http://schemas.microsoft.com/livelabs/pivot/collection/2009" SchemaVersion="1.0" Name="Actresses" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/collection/metadata/2009">
<FacetCategories>
<FacetCategory Name="Nationality" Type="LongString" p:IsFilterVisible="true" p:IsWordWheelVisible="true" p:IsMetaDataVisible="true" />
</FacetCategories>
<!-- Other entries-->
<Items ImgBase="Actresses_files\go144bwo.0ao.xml" HrefBase="http://www.imdb.com/name/">
<Item Id="2" Img="#2" Name="Anna Karina" Href="nm0439344/">
<Description> She is a nice girl</Description>
<Facets>
<Facet Name="Nationality">
<LongString Value="Danish" />
</Facet>
</Facets>
</Item>
</Items>
<!-- Other entries-->
</Collection>
I can't get any functioning simple code like:
XDocument document = XDocument.Parse(e.Result);
foreach (XElement x in document.Descendants("Item"))
{
...
}
The test on a generic xml is working. The cxml file is correctly loaded in document.
While watching the expression:
document.Descendants("Item"), results
the answer is:
Empty "Enumeration yielded no results" string
Any hint on what can be the error? I've also add a quick look to get Descendants of Facet, Facets, etc., but there are no results in the enumeration. This obviously doesn't happen with a generic xml file I used for testing. It's a problem I have with .cxml.

Basically your XML defines a default namespace with the xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/collection/metadata/2009" attribute:
That means you need to fully qualify your Descendants query e.g.:
XDocument document = XDocument.Parse(e.Result);
foreach (XElement x in document.Descendants("{http://schemas.microsoft.com/collection/metadata/2009}Item"))
{
...
}
If you remove the default namespace from the XML your code actually works as-is, but that is not the aim of the exercise.

See Metadata.CXML project under http://github.com/Zoomicon/Metadata.CXML sourcecode for LINQ-based parsing of CXML files.
Also see ClipFlair.Metadata project at http://github.com/Zoomicon/ClipFlair.Metadata for parsing one's CXML custom facets too
BTW, at http://ClipFlair.codeplex.com can checkout the ClipFlair.Gallery project for how to author ASP.net web-based forms to edit metadata fragments (parts of CXML files) and merge them together in a single one (that you then convert periodically to DeepZoom CXML with PAuthor tool from http://pauthor.codeplex.com).
