Not able to retrieve information from <request>

[ah_lun]

I am new to Windows Phone development, recently started to try to create a weather app, I am using API from World Weather Online (http://www.worldweatheronline.com/).

I retrieved the below sample data from the web site (http://free.worldweatheronline.com/f...key=xxxxxxxx):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>
  <request>
    <type>City</type>
    <query>Paris, France</query>
  </request>
  <current_condition>
    .......
  </current_condition>
  <weather>
    .......
  </weather>
  <weather>
    .......
  </weather>
</data>

I try to parse the xml and put them in a data class in C#. Below is my code:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(e.Result);
var data1 = from q in doc.Descendants("result")
            select new RequestData
            {
               type = (string)q.Element("type"),
               query = (string)q.Element("query")
            }

This is my data class:

public class RequestData
{
  public string type {get; set;}
  public string query {get; set;}
}

But after the above codes executed, there is no error (good), but there is no data from the data1. I tried for doc.Descendants("current_condition) and doc.Descendants("weather") and I am able to get the data into the data1, only the doc.Descendants("result") didn't give me any result.

Anyone know why? Thanks.

Hi ah_lun

In the XML that you show there is no "result" element. type and query are under request node. If you modify your LiNQ query to doc.Descendants("request") your data will be retrieved ok.

Hope This help.

Oh ya, why did I do that, my mistake, my mistake, too careless. Thank you very much!
It is "request", not "result".

Thank you!
