Hi, thanks.

I am still unable to make this work, im getting an object not set error now.. not sure what i'm doing wrong? Could you have a look?

System.Net.WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(uri);

System.Net.WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream);
string xmlcontents = sr.ReadToEnd();
System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xmlcontents);




XmlNamespaceManager xnm = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
xnm.AddNamespace("web:Web", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");



XmlNodeList MyRssList = doc.SelectNodes("SearchResponse/Web");
XmlNode MyRssDetail;


MyRssDetail = MyRssList.Item(0).SelectSingleNode("web:Total", xnm);

totalresults.Text = ("Results: " + MyRssDetail.InnerText);

from the xml:

<SearchResponse Version="2.2">

  <Query>

    <SearchTerms>hippo</SearchTerms>

  </Query>

  <web:Web>

    <web:Total>49300000</web:Total>
