Hi David,

Load your xml into an XmlDocument, then you can parse it using XPath
queries and get the value you want. Storing your xml in a string variable
called xml you can obtain your value like this

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);

XmlNode node =
doc.SelectSingleNode("daily_statistics/user_total_credit");
string value = node.InnerText;

"daily_statistics/user_total_credit" is the XPath query telling
SelectSingleNode to get the first node matching this pattern

value = 5859.155452
 
realy Thanks....
