How to strip XML from a webpage

[james]

Hi, I've written a small application that reads Weather data from a couple
of different websites (depending on the user's choice) and then scrolls the
data ( current temp. forecast etc.) on the system tray. The problem I am
encountering is the text includes the html or xml in the string and I would
like to filter it out and display only the weather data itself.

If the file read is in XHTML format, you can use the classes contained in
the 'System.Xml' namespace for reading information from the file.

Thank you Herfried! Those links are what I was looking for. Sometimes, it
takes another pair of eyes to find the answers.
