So I have a photo viewer that I am creating to learn Silverlight and I want to be able to get all of the photos from flickr for a specific user/set. I see that I can easily get the information in an atom feed but I can't easily get the description as the atom feed combines the Title/description etc and outputs it as html. Is there any way to easily get the tite/description/url for a specific user/set in flickr?

A:
Instead of ATOM, you could directly use the Flickr API. I've seen a number of people use the WebClient to interact with the Flickr API in Silverlight.
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/
Note that you will need to use an MD5 implementation for Silverlight if you have to "sign" your Flickr API calls.

Using the api is the only way to get the information that I want but it will take multiple calls which will be annoying.
