How to add on text from a certain XML file onto text boxes

So I'm currently working on a project right now involving C-Sharp, and it it frustrating me so much. Currently, I have to get text stored in a XML tag, read it as a string, and store it into a series of text boxes. However, for some reason, the text boxes keep nullifying each other out; they are erasing each other. What am I doing wrong? It's been bugging for a while now. Thank you!

        XmlDocument generalXML = new XmlDocument();
        generalXML.Load(generalURI);

        // Connect to the web request for the resource you want
        // In other words - create a socket with the uri

        HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(generalURI);

        // Indicate that you will READ only (GET)
        req.Method = "GET";

        try
        {
            // get and store the response and convert it into a usable stream
            HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
            Stream str = res.GetResponseStream();

            // read the stream as an XML object
            XmlReader xr = XmlReader.Create(str);

            if (textBoxDescription.Text == "")
            {
                xr.ReadToFollowing("description");
                textBoxDescription.Text = xr.ReadElementContentAsString();
            }

            if (textBoxWebsite.Text == "")
            {
                xr.ReadToFollowing("website");
                textBoxWebsite.Text = xr.ReadElementContentAsString();
            }

            if (textBoxEmail.Text == "")
            {
                xr.ReadToFollowing("email");
                textBoxEmail.Text = xr.ReadElementContentAsString();
            }

            if (textBoxName.Text == "")
            {
                xr.ReadToFollowing("name");
                textBoxName.Text = xr.ReadElementContentAsString();
            }

            // close the ocnnection to the resource
            res.Close();
        }
        catch
        {
            Console.Write("Error");
        }

OK here is what is get from your question:

First of all your URI is not written correctly.

@"simon.ist.rit.edu:8080/Services/resources/ESD/"; + orgID + "/General";

change it to: (@"simon.ist.rit.edu:8080/Services/resources/ESD/" + orgID + "/General"

Secondly i think the textboxes are not filled correctly they are not nullifying each other. try:

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(@"http://simon.ist.rit.edu:8080/Services/resources/ESD/Organizations");
XmlNode OrganizationID= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/OrganizationID");
string type= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/type").InnerText.ToString();
string Name= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/Name").InnerText.ToString();
string Email= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/Email").InnerText.ToString();
string city= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/city").InnerText.ToString();
string zip= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/zip").InnerText.ToString();
string CountyName= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/CountyName").InnerText.ToString();
string State= document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/data/row/State").InnerText.ToString();
