Reading xml-strings 1

[Salte2]

I am dealing with a web-service that returns string-objects in xml-format. A bit simplified they look like this: "<error><code>514</code><description>User not found</description></error>". Are there any classes / methods in .net i can use that will translate this xml-code for me so i can just get the error-code or description without having to search through the string myself? I find a lot of Xml-reader stuff in the msdn, but they seem to be dealing with files and streams, not strings.

Have a look at the XmlDocument class! It lets you load string

XmlDocument myDocument = new XmlDocument();
string bla ="error><code>514</code><description>User not found</description></error>";
myDocument.LoadXml(bla);

And it also lets you select the nodes you want to use!

myDocument.SelectSingleNode("//description");

This would return User not found! You can enter any Xpath Query you like into the SelectSingleNode operation!

Hope that gets you started!
