Still not clear exactly what you want. Does something like this help:

            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.Load("e:\\tmp\\yield.xml");
            XmlNodeList nl =    xd.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//G_NEW_DATE[BID_CURVE_DATE='05-DEC-06']//G_BC_CAT/*");
            foreach (XmlNode n in nl)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(n.Name + ":" + n.InnerText);
                // Or put in a collection or whatever....
            }
