I'm unable to find a way to parse my XML. I'm not sure if it's the XML formatted badly or code.

I'd like to use a datagridview or treeview to display this on an about page something like this:

VersionID = v1.0.0 CCNumber = CSV-003-CC-20-09 Description = Hard Code Dilution

1. SimoaPlateImport.cs - Hardcoded Neat for Dilutions. Updated DataTable names to match the vendor document.
2. CalibrationPoints.cs - Changed Reagent Name textbox to combobox. Prepopulated with NF-light"
3. CalibrationPoints.cs - Added Auto Fill Box that populates Calibrator DataGrid Automatically"

This is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VersionHistory>
  <version VersionID="v1.0.0">
    <CCNumber>CSV-003-CC-20-09</CCNumber>
    <Description>Initial Release</Description>
    <Changes>Inital Release</Changes>
  </version>
  <version VersionID="v1.1.0">
    <CCNumber>CSV-003-CC-20-11</CCNumber>
    <Description>Hard Code Dilution Factor</Description>
    <Changes id="0" note="SimoaPlateImport.cs - Hardcoded Neat for Dilutions.  Updated DataTable names to match the vendor document." />
    <Changes id="1" note="ClibrationPoints.cs - Changed Reagent Name textbox to combobox.  Prepopulated with NF-light" />
    <Changes id="2" note="ClibrationPoints.cs - Added Auto Fill Box that populates Calibrator DataGrid Automatically" />
  </version>
  <version VersionID="v2.0.0">
    <CCNumber>CRMA-18-03-CC-05</CCNumber>
    <Description>Updated System to run on Watson 7.6.1</Description>
    <Changes id="0" note="Added OracleData.cs class to create a Data Connector to Watson Oracle Database." />
    <Changes id="1" note="ClibrationPoints.cs - Changed Reagent Name textbox to combobox.  Prepopulated with NF-light" />
    <Changes id="2" note="ClibrationPoints.cs - Added Auto Fill Box that populates Calibrator DataGrid Automatically" />
    <Changes id="3" note="SimoaPlateImport.cs - Modified code to populate standards from Watson DB" />
    <Changes id="4" note="DataConnector.cs - Modified Form layout and supporting code" />
    <Changes id="5" note="About.cs - Created About Form with Change History" />
  </version>
</VersionHistory>

I deserialized the xml. See if you can create the treeview yourself from the classes
