Great post, thanks for sharing this class. I had to make one Tweak to use this in a non-web app in VS 2010 Beta 2. HttpUtlity is in System.Web and it looks like there is no way to reference System.Web in VS 2010 Beta 2 from a console application.

I changed the call to HttpUtility to use System.Uri.EscapeDataString and it worked like a charm.

Good stuff!

Is that a compile error or runtime error? Did you copy & paste the code
correctly? Sometimes the browser messes up the code formatting.

Other than that you should add a breakpoint and examine the value of
resultXml and see if it shows any error messages.

Good luck.

Hi Emad

I just tried your code, but it is throwing me an error at this part:
var x = (from result in resultXml.Descendants("nodeKeyVal")
...

It tells me : error CS1026: ) expected

Do you have an idea why this may happen?

Thanks
