title: XML ASMX Service with 1 return value - not XDocument so How to Parse?
body: <p>I am trying to return a value from an "XML Web Service" that I did not create.  It is an ASMX service with the following return:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; 
  123
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where the value "123" varies depending on the parameters I feed the service.  My question is, in C# (Silverlight), how can I parse this value?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var webClient = new WebClient();
  webClient.DownloadStringCompleted += webClient_DownloadStringCompleted;
  webClient.DownloadStringAsync(service);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do not see an easy way to get to the value.  </p>
