  public string Item2{ get; set; }

 }
 public class Feed

 {

  public static List<FeedItem> GetFeedInfo()

  {

   XmlReaderSettings xrs = new XmlReaderSettings();

   xrs.XmlResolver = new XmlUrlResolver();

   xrs.ValidationType = ValidationType.DTD;

   xrs.ProhibitDtd = false;
   try

   {

    using (XmlReader xtr = XmlTextReader.Create("http://feed.url", xrs))

    {

     XDocument xd = XDocument.Load(xtr);
     return (from incident in xd.Descendants("tpeg_message")

         select new FeedItem

         {

          Item1 = (string)incident.Element("Item1"),

          Item2 = (string)incident.Element("Item2").Attribute("Sub_Attribute"),
       
         }).ToList();
     xtr.Close();
