What are some ways of parsing XML data using different objects?

// Opens the input and output files as streams
  FileStream stream = File.Open("myxmldata.xml", FileMode.Open);
  // Uses a new Dataset object and
  // fills it with data from the .xml file
  DataSet ds = new DataSet();
  ds.ReadXml(stream);
   	// Uses a new instance of the XMLTextReader object
  	XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(stream);
	// Uses a new XmlDocument object and
   	// fills it with data
   	XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
   	document.Load(stream);
