[SOLVED] xmldocument.load - Anyway to get bytes loaded?

I'm using C# to make an app for the Pocket PC (funny enough) and was wondering when using xmldocument.load , how I can get the number of bytes loaded

A 300kb XML file can take a few seconds on the pocket pc so I wanted some way of getting the bytes loaded to make a progress bar. I was thinking of timing the first time the xml file was loaded and then storing this and using it as an estimate (I can see the problems with this) but surely there must be a better way

I'm pretty new to C# so please be simple with your reply :) .

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Jon.

 Note: I got a feeling this isn't probably .net compact only

EDIT: Just incase it helps, this is a sample of the XML I've got to read in (not created by me)

< xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" >
<diffgr:diffgram xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1">

   <BillFax/>

   <Referral/>
  </bb_Contact>

 Etc...

And the code I'm using is:

XmlNodeList forenames = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("Forename");

XmlNodeList surnames = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("Surname");

Which I'm then joining together using the same index position, not the best way
