Reading info inside a node of an XML using dataset

Question

<cat number="35">
 <eye>brown</eye>
 <tail>long</tail>
</cat>
<dog number="35">
 <eye>green</eye>
 <tail>short</tail>
</dog>

I've loaded an XML like this into a dataset, and to access info i'm just using this:

ds.Tables(cat).Rows(0)(eye) //returns brown

but i'd like to get the cat's number, how do i access this information using one line code to access one at a time (not some routine that loads every 'inside node property' (?) in an array or something) ?

do you really need to use a dataset? what about XMLDocument or LINQ ? — Rubens Farias, Jan 18 '10 at 10:33
DUPE, i'm sorry, it happened because i didn't know the name of attributes in xml's, so it didn't show up in my preliminary search — Marcelo, Jan 18 '10 at 10:40

I'm sorry, what caused this is because i didn't know it's name was attribute, otherwise it would have appeared in my search, thank you – Marcelo Jan 18 '10 at 10:39
