Get Xml from web .

This is a link to an address where I would like to access xml.
http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/...xml&email=XXXX
The XXXX is the email address of a user. All I want to do is access the xml
and view it in a datagrid. I have read several tuturials and articles and
have not been able to find something that would explain how to do this. Does
anyone know of a sample code or something close I could use as a reference.
I am using visualstudio.net. and visual basic. THX

Take a look at using the following classes on your app:

HttpWebRequest
HttpWebResponse
DataSet

If you do a search on those at msdn.microsoft.com you will be able to pull
up the specs for each and sample code. You are going to use the HttpXXXX
classes to handle talking to the web site and reading the data from the URL,
behaves alot like reading from a file. Then you can use DataSet.ReadXml to
populate a dataset from the XML you get back, then bind that to a grid.

And don't forget that XmlTextReader can pull stuff right from any old
URI. So, unless you need to control HTTP specific stuff, there's no
need to use System.Net classes.
