I cannot figure out how to parse my xml that has multiple elements with the same name and write them out or assign them to a string array so i can use them in my web app. I keep getting told Ienumerable can't be converted to string. I am really trying to simply grab each item out of the XML so I can use it. \[code\]if (Request.QueryString["Keywords"] != null) { string keywords = Request.QueryString["Keywords"]; string myAppID = "HIDDEN FROM STACKOVERFLOW"; var xml = XDocument.Load("http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0&SECURITY-APPNAME=" + myAppID + "&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=XML&REST-PAYLOAD&keywords=" + keywords + "&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=10"); XNamespace ns = "http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/search/v1/services"; var titles = from item in xml.Root.Descendants(ns + "title") select new { title = item.Parent.Element("title").Value, }; Label1.Text = titles.ToString(); }\[/code\]The example XML I have is:\[code\]This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.
