thanks for the reply,

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(XMLfileName);
string xpath = "//CustomeSettings/ConnectionString/myCon";
XmlNode xn = doc.SelectSingleNode(xpath);

Properties.Settings.Default.DatagridTestConnectionString = xn.InnerText;

-----XML file against which i am testing----- 

<CustomeSettings>
<ConnectionString>
<myCon>
<ConnectionName>"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data 
Source=C:\db\DatagridTest.mdb"</ConnectionName>
</myCon>
<myCon>
<ConnectionName>Inr</ConnectionName>
</myCon>
</ConnectionString>
<CADTemplateFiles>
</CADTemplateFiles>
<ExcelTemplateFiles>
</ExcelTemplateFiles>
</CustomeSettings>
