read xml attributes in ASP.NET

[raghu3]

Sounds fairly straight:
I have a xml file with user created attributes:
<ou Text="test" img="Folder.Gif" exp="True" url="" cn="cc\cc\cc" >

How do I access the user defined attribites? text,cn ...
Thanks,

Does not work for me as my XML has good number of nestings.
the c# code looks condusing as I do not know _data(0,0) ??
Any suggestions:

XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.Load("test.xml");
XmlNodeList attributes = xml.SelectNodes("blah/blah/ou/@*");
foreach(XmlNode attribute in attributes)
{
    //Do stuff with each attribute
}

Thanks JontyMC. This will not work for me as I have many nested OUs, see sample below.
The nesting levels can go upto 6.

Now I have to figure out hoe deep should the :
xml.SelectNodes("blah/blah/ou/@*") should go. I have to re-visit the design.

<ou text= .....>
<ou text= .....>
<ou text= .....>

</ou>
<ou text= .....>
<ou text= .....>
</ou>
<ou text= .....>
<ou text= .....>
<ou text= .....>
</ou>
Appreciate your help.

You can use the descendant-or-self XPath axis:

XmlNodeList attributes = xml.SelectNodes("//@*");
