Hi,

Are you using webservice? because web service displays the result in the form of xml.

how did u get the result set like this? can you tell me the way you generate the xml file. so that i could help you.

This will retrive the page content

Dim myReq As Net.HttpWebRequest = _
    WebRequest.Create("Your page addresss")
            Dim resp As HttpWebResponse = CType(myReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
            Dim receiveStream As Stream = resp.GetResponseStream()
            Dim readStream As New StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8)
            Response.Write(readStream.ReadToEnd())

Then you could load the xml in DOM

yes i am using web services. Using GetXml() method convert from dataset and return the xml .

strSelectTemplateDetails = "select strTemplateName,strPath,strTemplateId from tblPredefinedTemplates where strServiceType='" & strServiceType & "'"

dsTemplateDetails = objClsContentDb.GetRecordSet(strSelectTemplateDetails)

strXml = dsTemplateDetails.GetXml()

Return strXml

But my question is i want to get this xml data from web browser for some purpose.

Hi,

Dim myReq As Net.HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("WebCP.asmx")

Dim resp As HttpResponse = CType(myReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

Dim receiveStream As Stream = resp.GetResponseStream()

Dim readStream As New StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8)

Response.Write(readStream)

I implement this in my application. But i got an error that

Dim receiveStream As Stream = resp.GetResponseStream()

Dim readStream As New StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8)

1."GetResponseStream" is not a member "System.Web.HttpResponse"
2.value of type system.net.httpwebresponse cannot be converted to system.web.httpresponse

Two errors are occurred

[danasegarane]

Have you imported this namespace in your application ?

Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO

Hi,

wirte a web method which returns dataset in the web service and jsut call the webservice method and assign the retreived object in your code behind's dataset. then convert it as xml and read it.

Still you don't understand please let me know.

[Guvera]

yes i import the both namespace.

But i am having the same error.

Right click your solution, add web reference. Now give it the URL of your web service. Give it a proper name such as "MobiService". Once it finds everything it needs, then you can use it like a class.

Dim client  as new MobiService.ServiceName()
Dim doc As XmlDocument = client.MethodName()

doc now contains your XML from the web service.

mendhak its working.. great !!!. Thanks.

I got output that what i need. :-)
