Windows Phone Parse XML String

I'm trying to parse this XML retrieved as a response from Virtual Earth;

<Response xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/search/local/ws/rest/v1">

I've looked for any answer that might work for me on here, or somewhere. But everyone asked in other ways for what they want, and I could not find anything. I just want to get "Locality" value consisted by "Address" as a string value.

I have this XML as a string Named MyXMLString.

Thanks in advance.

You can just use XDocument.Parse:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(text);
// Just as an example of using the namespace...
XNamespace ns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/search/local/ws/rest/v1";
foreach (var location in doc.Descendants(ns + "Address"))
{
    Console.WriteLine(location.Element(ns + "Locality").Value);
}

If Parse isn't available in Windows Phone 7, you could use a StringReader:

var reader = new StringReader(text);
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(reader);

Or if that doesn't work:

var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
var stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(stream);
