XmlHttpRequest from a Windows Application ?

I want to design/develop an windows application that can query multiple
websites (XmlHttpRequest ), call number of 3rd party external
webservices (SOAP) and parse/process the data and display it to the
user.
Ideally this would have been developed as a website, but due to crosss
doman limitation on XmlHttpRequest, I am thinking of developing it as
an windows application.

Since I am basically new to developing visual studio applications, I
want to know what is the easiest/best of doing it.

1. from some initial searching, one of the solutions I found is to
build an browser based application (application: with the browser
control). If so can I still use XmlHttpRequest ? and would the
cross-domain limitation with XmlHttpRequest apply here and in any way
prevent me from querying multiple sites ?

2. Is there any other way of doing this.
thanks in advance
Dave.

You should avoid XMLHTTPRequest. You can easily create Web Service proxies
in Visal Studio by adding a Web Reference.

If you cannot use this feature (e.g. there's no WSDL or XSD to use), you
could use System.Net.Http WebRequest/Response and System.Xml classes to write
the required HTTP communication and XML processing yourself (ouch!).

Cheers,

This is a bit of a weird problem. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it in a simple example, so I can only poke it out there and see if anyone has seen something similar. I have a script that uses XMLHttpRequest to communicate to a server. All functionality follows the following form: 1. Use XMLHttpRequest to make a request to the server. 2. Wait for the response (using async requests and a handler) 3. If the response indicates an...

This works, but it doesn't load the latest version of the xml if it was just modified without closing and reopening the browser. Here's the scenario: I have an xml doc called results.xml. It can contain lots of data. <Results> <Data>Stuff</Data> <Data>More stuff</Data>

The precious input given by Laurent, Martin, Benjamin about XMLHttpRequest in Javascript, has made me think that perhaps I could improve what I am currently doing by using Ajax. Let's make it simple and schematic, to see if there is a simple Ajax answer to this. A. I have an HTML page which has some pure html/css code representing a GRID of cell. The page may also contain other objects (images, etc). B. On the server I have a windows...

Hi, The FAQ correctly says the following: "Mozilla (NN6.2+, Firefox, Ice Weasle etc), Opera 7.6+, Safari1.2+, the Windows version of IE versions 5+, and some other browsers provide the XML HTTP Request object." In my haze of testing yesterday it seems that NN6.1 provides an non-functional XMLHttpRequest object and NN6.2 XMLHttpRequest object
