                + "<name>Computer-Wholesale & Manufacturers</name>"
                + "</relatedcategory>"
                + "<relatedcategory>"
                + "<count>278</count>"
                + "<name>Computer Software & Services</name>"
                + "</relatedcategory>"
                + "<relatedcategory>"
                + "<count>271</count>"
                + "<name>Computer Software Publishers & Developers</name>"
                + "</relatedcategory>";

XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml("<root>" + xml.Replace("&", "amp;") + "</root>");

XmlNode xNode = xdoc.DocumentElement.FirstChild;

string item = xNode.InnerText;//your item

You can use XElement from .NET 3.5.

C#

XElement xmlRoot = XElement.Parse(xmlString);

var results = from r in xmlRoot.Elements("relatedCategory")
              select new { Count = r.Element("count").Value, Name = r.Element("name").Value };

And then for-each all results.

C#

foreach (var result in results)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Count: {0}, Name: {1}", result.Count, result.Name);
}

It will produce an out like:

Count: 351, Name: Computer-Wholesale & Manufacturers

HttpWebRequest webRequestObject = null;
       StreamReader sr = null;
       HttpWebResponse webResponseObject = null;
       webRequestObject = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("API from where i am getting XML Data");
       webRequestObject.Method = "GET";

       webRequestObject.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)";

       webResponseObject = (HttpWebResponse)webRequestObject.GetResponse();
       sr = new StreamReader(webResponseObject.GetResponseStream());

       String Results = sr.ReadToEnd();
       using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(Results)))
       {
           // Parse the file and display each of the nodes.
           while (reader.Read())
           {

                   // Advace to the element's text node

                 Response.Write(reader.ReadInnerXml());

                   // ... do what you want (you can get the value with reader.Value)
               }
            }
