Was hoping to do a server daemon that would store all of the information in a MySQL database, so that can be queried instead of having each individual client do all the heavy lifting (and it only has to get the XML file once and parse it once). That's down the road though. Probably the easiest way to get the file is using exactly what you talked about. WebRequest and WebResponse or be lazy and try to get information from the WebBrowser object. That fancy wrapper you have would be nice, which I am certain I will attack with an axe to remove things I dont want at all. :P As for help, expect to talk about this a few times over the course of the school year. This is something I would like to push into that all-inclusive project we were talking about over the last 8-9 months. =) DrewDahl:

You could use LINQ for the XML (obviously) and then you could either use WebRequest and WebResponse to grab information from the site, or the WebBrowser object. Or, you could use the WebBrowser Wrapper we use at work. It's lyk... csexb or something. I modified it heavily >.> but, it's licensed under the Apache License. It's good stuff. Anyway, let me know if you need help with it =D Diggity.
