    I declared a local xml document in my code and am trying to load the ducument based on the url and am getting an error.

    XmlDocument xl = new XmlDocument();
    xl.LoadXml("http://api.whitepages.com/find_person/1.0/?firstname=" + FirstName + ";lastname=" + LastName + ";state=co;api_key=2a0855fcc973eee564e979216bfde9f7");

    System.Xml.XmlException was unhandled
    Message="Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."
    Source="System.Xml"
    LineNumber=1
    LinePosition=1
    SourceUri=""

    Please help!

    I got it to work but now I am getting a different error because the xml string is not well formed. The element names contain a ":".

    Ahager,

    The element name includes a namespace. Some parsers get confused, but it really is well formed.
