AccuWeather xml document (can't find head/root element)

We would need to see the code you're using to parse the XML.

**Niels Koomans** · Apr 4 '13, 05:13 PM

i've added the zip file with source

**Rabbit** · Apr 4 '13, 05:24 PM

Please post the relevant code in the thread instead. I don't download files from people I don't know.

**Niels Koomans** · Apr 4 '13, 05:35 PM

added code in thread

**Rabbit** · Apr 4 '13, 06:07 PM

Which line of code is throwing the error?

**Niels Koomans** · Apr 4 '13, 06:21 PM

line 361: xmldoc.LoadXml( xmlfile)

**Rabbit** · Apr 4 '13, 09:05 PM

I don't the error you're getting when I run your code. But maybe it's because I'm using 2008 and not 2012. Have you tried defining the namespace?

well, now that i've finaly got the accuweather lib working it says "Object is not set to a reference" at "xel.Element("w eathertext").Va lue"
