Many ways. It's basic XML Parsing. Below I used one way to get the title. WebClient client = new WebClient (); string URL = http://xboxapi.duncanmackenzie.net/gamertag.ashx?GamerTag=experiment5x ; Stream data = client.OpenRead(URL); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (data); string s = reader.ReadToEnd(); XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument (); doc.LoadXml(s); string title = doc.SelectSingleNode( XboxInfo/PresenceInfo/Title ).InnerText; data.Close(); reader.Close();

Hi Use WebClient class like below. You will get exact out put in a variable. So you can modify it in your oen way. WebClient client = new WebClient(); string URL =  http://xboxapi.duncanmackenzie.net/gamertag.ashx?GamerTag=experiment5x ; Stream data = client.OpenRead(URL); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data); string s = reader.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine(s); data.Close(); reader.Close();

The links you gave me I do not think let you receive data online. It gives a source such as C:/Desktop/.... for http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mahesh/ReadingXmlFile11142005002137AM/ReadingXmlFile.aspx and the other one has books.xml. Those cannot be used online can they? Can I put a website there? Srry beginner.
