Retrieve Data from API using C#

Question

I would like to retrieve this data inside of a class in c# based on a URL address "http://sporing.bring.no/sporing.xml?q=TESTPACKAGE-AT-PICKUPPOINT".

Unfortunately, you cannot use "XDocument xml = XDocument.Load("");" to retrieve the data because the url address is not a xml file.

What sourcecode in C# do I need in order to retrieve the data of the xml based on the URL address "http://sporing.bring.no/sporing.xml?q=TESTPACKAGE-AT-PICKUPPOINT"?

Thanks!

`the data because the url address is not a xml file` Huh? That is an XML file. That works fine. — SLaks, Jun 05 '15 at 22:03
Just use `WebClient.DownloadFile` to download it into a string, then use `XDocument.Parse()` to load it from the string. — Icemanind, Jun 05 '15 at 22:04

XDocument xml = XDocument.Parse(new WebClient().DownloadString("http://sporing.bring.no/sporing.xml?q=TESTPACKAGE-AT-PICKUPPOINT"));

This will probably solve your problem.
