       <units>
         <Number>001</serialNumber>
         <Id>222</instanceId>
         <fNumber>765</routeNumber>
         <status>open</status>
         <Message>Error</errorMessage>
       </units>
       <units>
         <Number>009</serialNumber>
         <Id>675</instanceId>
         <fNumber>765</routeNumber>
         <status>Close</status>

You can use Linq to XML to navigate through the XML and break it down or you might Deserialize the XML into a C# object Have a look at
