Read http stream with C#

I need to read an HTTP stream that is defined as excel format. How can I
access this via ADO.Net? This dataset pastes nicely into excel.

Thanks in advance

I'm not clear of what you want, especially that of a http stream as excel
format, what you mean with that?

You can use WebClient to get a http stream.

Dan,

You are going to have to save the stream to a temporary file, and then
you can use the Jet provider for Ole Db to access the data in Excel.

The URL listed says this is in excel format. I want to read it into a C#
program.

area then use ole db?

Dan,

Yes, as Ignacio said, you would use the WebClient or the
HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse classes to do this, then you would access the
temp file through the Ole Db provider, as it requires a physical file.

Hi there, I want to timeout Read method of System.Stream class after 30 secs. of no activity given a certain opened connection.
