what is the dot net equvilant to msxml.dll

What is the .net equvilaint msxml.dll

System.XML

It has an XMLDocument and XMLNode object plus a bunch more.

Im looking for the equivlaint of this method in particulair

Dim XMLCONNECTION As New MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP40()
And Icouldnt find the equvaliant does one exist it grab an xml stream by passing it the address and a username and password Im hoping there is because im plaining on passing it to a dataset.

Sorry I guess I'm not familiar enough with msxml. What is it you are trying to do?

If you want to load an xml file into a dataset then you can use the dataset method ReadXML. I believe it takes a path to an xml file or just pure xml as a string.

Im trying to recieve an xml stream basically from another web page that requires a user name and password to be sent to it and it returns a xml stream Im not familiar with this myself except for with that is what I just explained. I hope I can get some help on this

you probably need to look into System.Net.HttpWebRequest
and System.Net.HttpWebResponse

Ill look into that thanks

do a google search for: vb.net httpwebresponse xml stream

I got alot of hits on that.

I didnt find to much i saw that you could get the stream from a url using those methods but I didnt see any where to pass a password and userid Im assumming credentials maybe but it wasnt to clear from any of the examples.

I was able to figure out how to do what I need to do I just used the system.net class and got a stream which then I passed to a dataset via the readxml method.
