Code::

-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {

   NSLog(@"DONE. Received Bytes: %d", [webData length]);
   NSString *theXML = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes: [webData mutableBytes] length:[webData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@",theXML);

   theXML = [theXML stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&lt;" withString:@"<"];
   theXML = [theXML stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&gt;" withString:@">"];
   theXML = [theXML stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&amp;" withString:@"&"];

   NSString *str, *result;
   result = [[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@""] autorelease];

   NSArray *array=[theXML componentsSeparatedByString:@"<CelsiusToFahrenheitResult>"];
   for(int i=1;i<[array count];i++)
   {
      str=[array objectAtIndex:i];

      NSRange ranfrom=[str rangeOfString:@"</CelsiusToFahrenheitResult>"];
      result =[str substringToIndex:ranfrom.location];
   }

   NSLog(@"\n -> %@", result);

   t2.text = result; // Your Second textfield

   [connection release];
}

It'll definately work. Thanks.
