StreamReader and reading an XML file?

You have called ReadToEnd() hence consumed all the data (into a string). This means the reader has nothing more to give. Just: don't do that.

Or, do that and use LoadXml(reaponseString) .

The Load method is capable of fetching XML documents from remote resources. So you could simplify your code like this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
