I'm using nominatim for reverse geocoding in my asp.net website (Visual Studio 2010, C#).

I'm getting answer in XML or json format on another webpage like below:

I cant read this address using XML reader or HTTP response.

Need help to convert this text into plain text and displaying on my website.

To complement the example given by Vladimir Gondarev, Nominatim currently does not accept requests without Referer and User-Agent. That way, just add these two lines: 

webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
webClient.Headers.Add("Referer", "http://www.microsoft.com");

(Modify to your liking).
