+XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
+     doc.Load("foo.xml");
+                         
+     // Get and display all the elements.
+     XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
+     XmlNodeList elemList = root.GetElementsByTagName("*");
+     for (int i=0; i < elemList.Count; i++)
+     {   
+        Console.WriteLine(elemList[i].InnerXml);
+     }
+
+Actual Results:
+empty XmlNodeList.
+
+Expected Results:
+XmlNodeList with all NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element , Recursively.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+All the time.
