Hello, I'm trying to import an XML that's provided by twitter into a readable format in
Visual Basic.
XML looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <statuses type="array">
- <status>
<created_at>Mon Jan 18 20:41:19 +0000 2010</created_at>
<id>111111111</id>
<text>thattext</text>
<source><a href="http://www.seesmic.com/" rel="nofollow">Seesmic</a></source>

<contributors_enabled>false</contributors_enabled>
</user>
<geo />
<coordinates />
<place />
<contributors />
</status>
</statuses>
Now, I want to display it in a panel that automatically refresh after a certain period, however, I only want to pick out certain bits of info from that xml, such as profile_image_url and text and created_at. You can guess how the data will be formatted, much like that presented in TweetDeck and other Twitter clients.
I'm quite new to
Visual Basic, so how could I do this?
Thanks
