Hi all.

Not sure if this is the right area of the forum for this question but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am developing a Visual basic express application to search for dvd covers online (for my personal use only). I have a text box where my search phrase is entered. Once the search button is pressed a request is sent to a site as follows:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.freecovers.net/api/search/:" & searchphrase & ":")


The site then send back some xml code which is displayed in the webbrowser as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <rsp stat="ok">
- <title>

My question, is there any way I can dynamically convert the xml results (as shown above) into an html page and display that page in the webbrowser?

thanks in advance for any help with this problem.
