Accessing Webpages

[Jennifer]

Hi

How can I download a webpage into a String? It's actually an online xml doc that I want to store in a DataSet, any ideas

webpages are returned as the results of a get, post or put request. So you
need to make a request to get the server to return the results of your call.

[N.K]

Use System.Net.WebClient to read the data

Code should look somewhat like ...

WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();
Stream myStream = myWebClient.OpenRead(uriString);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(myStream);
