Question

I did appreciate your help for my previous question , and i was wondering how to read data from an URI,using web service(let’s assume it’s the same data).
Here’s the url link:
http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=paris
I tryied with this code but it didn’t work:

 public MainPage()
        {
        InitializeComponent();

        WebClient wc = new WebClient();
        wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(download_string_complete);
        wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=hammamet", UriKind.Absolute));
        }

    public void download_string_complete(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
        {


       if (e.Error == null)
            {
            ListBoxItem areaItem = null;
            StringReader stream = new StringReader(e.Result);
            XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(stream);

            string day = String.Empty;
            string low = String.Empty;
            string high = String.Empty;
            string condition = String.Empty;

            while (reader.Read())
                {
                if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                    {
                    if (reader.Name=="forecast_conditions")
                        {
                    WeatherElement welement = new WeatherElement();
                    switch (reader.Name)
                        {
                        case ("day_of_week"):
                                {
                                day = reader.ReadElementContentAsString();
                                areaItem = new ListBoxItem();
                                areaItem.Content = day;
                                friendsBox.Items.Add(day);
                                } break;

                        case ("low"):
                                {
                                low = reader.ReadElementContentAsString();
                                areaItem = new ListBoxItem();
                                areaItem.Content = low;
                                friendsBox.Items.Add(low);
                                } break;

                        case ("high"):
                                {
                                high = reader.ReadElementContentAsString();
                                areaItem = new ListBoxItem();
                                areaItem.Content = high;
                                friendsBox.Items.Add(high);
                                } break;

                        case ("condition"):
