Yea, I ended up doing that too.

Also, playing around with the API without creating a webreference to the DDI service, I also used a simple approach and just loaded the url into an XDocument. Then I can easily traverse the monsterlist with Linq to Xml.

    XDocument monsterXml = GetSearchResults("http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/CompendiumSearch.asmx/KeywordSearch?Keywords=Human+Guard&tab=Monster")


    public XDocument GetSearchResults(string url)
    {
        XDocument resultsXml = new XDocument();
        try
        {
            resultsXml = XDocument.Load(url);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw e;
        }
        return resultsXml;
    }
