string xml = @"<price>123.45</price>";
// Create an XmlDocument and load the XML
var doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
// Create a XmlNodeReader positioned on the root element
using var reader = new System.Xml.XmlNodeReader(doc);
// Move to the element node
reader.Read(); // XmlNodeType.Element (price)
// Read the content as double
double price = reader.ReadContentAsDouble();
System.Console.WriteLine($"Price: {price}"); // Output: Price: 123.45
