any appreciated.

the problem here you're setting url before loop begins it's pointing first item always. move assignment of url inside loop , point item instead of xml_items

    dim xml_items = imageurl in xelement.<channel>.<item>     each item xelement in xml_items         dim url = item.<enclosure>.@url         textbox1.text = textbox1.text + environment.newline + environment.newline + url     next item
