Problem with web service

Hi Guys,

I really appreciate you, if anyone could help me out of this.


My problem is,

I am developing a visual basic application, there

I am trying to get data from sql server database through web services.

So what I have done sofar is,

I created a ASP file there I wrote the query to take certain numer of strories....

i.e

*********************************************
<%
dim strStoryid
dim strTitle

sSQL = "select top 5 * from LITERATURE order by
Cre_Date desc"

set rs = cn.Execute(sSQL)

rs.save response, 1

Cn.close
Set cn = nothing
set rs = nothing

%>

*********************************************************


then in my visual basic application I have programmed something like this................

Dim oXML As MSXML2.XMLHTTP30
Dim llngPicHeight As Long

Set oXML = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP30
With oXML
.Open "POST", "http://www.mywebsite.com/test/create_text.asp", False
.setRequestHeader "text", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
.send
'.sXMLReturned = .responseXML.xml
End With




Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

Set oStream = New ADODB.Stream
With oStream
.Open
'.WriteText sXMLReturned
.Position = 0

rs.Open oStream

.Close
End With
Set oStream = Nothing

Do While Not rs.EOF

mstrMyTitle = rs("Title")
mintMyStoryId = rs("Story_id")

rs.MoveNext
Loop


The result*********************

I am getting nothing but the error like "the stream is empty"

I do not know how to correct this, if anyone understand me very well, please help me.

Well....to start with, your code has nothing to do with ASP.NET. Your simply trying to return data thru a plain ASP page.

The few times I've done this, I just looped and put all the data from the RS into a delimited string and Response.Write it back. Then grabbed it with INET and parsed it on the client side. Works fine for small datasets.

I've never seen that you could stream an RS like that. Be real nice if you could.
