Hi! First post :-) Relatively new to ASP.NET

I'm building a lottery syndicate in ASP.NET 3.5 C# and I'm trying to filter an XML file to obtain this weeks lotto numbers and assign them to labels.

Here is the XML: http://www.schok.co.uk/lottery/lottery.xml

how should I go about doing this? At the moment I have the <description> part but I'm really trying to obtain just the numbers. I have this <description> part in a DataList, which isn't very useful (how do assign the read data into variables in the .cs file)

thanks a lot :-)

there are useful xml manipulation methods under the namespace System.Xml and to search for values of xml nodes also include System.Xml.Xpath namespace. Or find an Xpath query tutorial searching google.
