It hit me I can use Reflexion... So
webbservice.Results result;
//Loop through each of the node in XMLResults
foreach(XmlNode childNode in XMLResults) {
string element = childNode.Name;
//use reflexion to get the name and the value of the result
object from the DHI web service
Type type = typeof(webservice.Result);
PropertyInfo p = type.GetProperty(element);
if(p != null) {
//check to see if the value of the result object matches
the value of the child node
if((string)p.GetValue(result, null) !=
childNode.InnerText) {
//Add to my error list
} //if p.Value
} //if p
}
