The experts here on bytes are more than happy to give you a hand with a specific problem that you are having but it's unfair for you to ask a question as vague as "how do you write a program".

The code you've posted looks like it should work...are you having any problems with it? If you are what is the problem? Are you getting any error messages? What have you tried to solve the problem?

By the sounds of it you are able to download the content and all you need to do is parse through it and take what you need. In that case you will probably be interested in reading up on the XML Document Object Model (DOM) and maybe the XMLReader class.
