Answer 1

You can use FirstChild property of XmlDocument class and XmlProcessingInstruction class:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("example.xml");

if (doc.FirstChild is XmlProcessingInstruction)
{
    XmlProcessingInstruction processInfo = (XmlProcessingInstruction) doc.FirstChild;
    Console.WriteLine(processInfo.Data);
    Console.WriteLine(processInfo.Name);
    Console.WriteLine(processInfo.Target);
    Console.WriteLine(processInfo.Value);
}

Parse Value or Data properties to get appropriate values.
