Reading XML file in a Store App

Question

I have an XML file on the web which I want to read from a C# Store app. This file is actually an Atom feed, but that doesn't matter, I just want to get the XML contained within.
Anyway, I tried several methods but none of them can get me what I want.
My requirements are pretty simple, I want to get each Entry, and from it take the Summary, and from it take the entire text including the tags. The closest I got was being able to get the entire text contained within <Summary>, but without the child
tags <short-description> and <tab>, but I want them too.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Answer 1

Take a look at linq to xml to parse the xml

Another option if the xml is always in the same format you can create a class to deserialize the xml into.
