XML Web Control

I am using the XML Web Control to retrieve XML data from another ASP
page. The ASP page is on a different website so I have to use the full
http:// path. But, when I test my page I get an error stating "... A
virtual path is expected."

Can I only reference a DocumentSource that is within my website? I
can't believe that would be the case.

the source document must be a file path. you will need to use the web client
class to fetch the xml document, then pass to the xml web control.

Thanks. I started playing around with the WebRequest/WebResponse class
but I keep getting a 401 unauthorized error on the line where I Dim
myResponse.

So, the webclient class is the way to go instead of my current approach?

Function GetXML(ByVal strSourceFile As String)
Dim myRequest As System.Net.WebRequest =
System.Net.WebRequest.Create(strSourceFile)
Dim myResponse As System.Net.WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse()
Dim myReader As System.Xml.XmlTextReader = New
System.Xml.XmlTextReader(myResponse.GetResponseStr eam())
Dim doc As System.Xml.XmlDocument = New System.Xml.XmlDocument
doc.Load(myReader)
GetXML = doc
End Function
