Hi,      As I believe Thread poster wants to share his solution wich was initially raised by him here :

http://forums.asp.net/t/1772611.aspx/2/10?xml+selecting+single+node

Dut to some techincal issues, he could not post that there. So started a new thread to share his solution here at forum. ;)

Hi Jbear,        please marked your thread As resolved As you already posted solution.

For a reference again, i am providing relevant code again here:

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", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
 
            totalresults.Text = "Results: " + doc.SelectSingleNode("SearchResponse/web:Web/web:Total", xnm).InnerText;

Hi Kavita,      I think XML is well formatted but YES, namesapces are missing there. Hence, we need to include namesapces dynamically over there. After that we can process.

Correct Me, If I am Wrong!!!
