Right I want to make an windows 8 app and stuck on where to go.
I have done very basic c# but I am very quick to pick up where to go once I have been shown once how it works.
My app is a version of my website rollercoastermad.com/test , the idea is to display the roller coaster and theme parks in the app.

The reason using xml as it will make the files that have the information small and quicker to load on tablets and i would like to do a part where it could store the information for when people have a slow/no internet.
My xml files.
http://rollercoastermad.com/test/xmldata/rollercoaster.xml http://rollercoastermad.com/test/xmldata/rollercoaster.xml
http://rollercoastermad.com/test/xmldata/themepark.xml http://rollercoastermad.com/test/xmldata/themepark.xml

Now I have a basic idea how to download them thanks to another post.
But when it comes to working with them and displaying the information to a page I have no idea. I have been going through tutorials and have just become lost with the whole thing.
If anyone is able to give me a small example of my xml files showing in an app that would be great.

I will give credit on my app to anyone that helps me.
