I've got an application I'm converting from VB6 to C# 2005. I've
broken my problem down to this (Run on same machine seconds apart):

This works.

Dim dd As New DOMDocument
Dim pNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList
Dim pNode As IXMLDOMNode

dd.async = False
dd.Load "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss"

Set pNodeList = dd.selectNodes("//item")
For Each pNode In pNodeList
Next pNode

This doesn't. I get a message that proxy authentication is required (I
didn't need it a second ago):

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(@"http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss");
XmlNodeList rss = doc.SelectNodes("//item");
foreach (XmlNode r in rss)
{

}

What am I missing?

Thanks

In C# the \ char needs to be repleced with \\ meaning:

XmlNodeList rss = doc.SelectNodes("//item");

needs to be:
XmlNodeList rss = doc.SelectNodes("////item");
or
XmlNodeList rss = doc.SelectNodes(@"//item");

Correct, a backslash (\) needs to be "escaped", but this is NOT true
for a (forward) slash (/). So "doc.SelectNodes("//item");" is correct.
