How do I load the XML got by HttpWebResponse read into a StreamRea

[ss]

Hi,

I would like to know like How do I load the XML Response which I got from
HttpWebResponse?

What I am doing, I will just put for your perusal;

Dim hwrRequest As HttpWebRequest =
CType(HttpWebRequest.Create("https://someurl"), HttpWebRequest)

hwrRequest.Method = "POST"
hwrRequest.ContentType = "text/xml"

Dim encoding As UTF8Encoding = New UTF8Encoding
Dim postBytes() As Byte = encoding.GetBytes(strReq)

hwrRequest.ContentLength = postBytes.Length

Dim postStream As Stream = hwrRequest.GetRequestStream()
postStream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length)
postStream.Close()
Dim hwrResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType(hwrRequest.GetResponse(),
HttpWebResponse)
Dim responseStream As Stream = hwrResponse.GetResponseStream()
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(responseStream)
Dim respString As String = sr.ReadToEnd()


''Me.TextBox1.Text = respString

'' here If I am populating in the Multiline Textbox , I am getting the XML
Response

But What I want is directly consume that XML Response into the DOM
XmlDocument.

I tried passing the StreamReader into the Load Method of XmlDocument, but
it gives me the error.

Dim xDoc As New XmlDocument
xDoc.PreserveWhitespace = True
xDoc.Load(respString)
AddText("XML Content", xDoc.OuterXml)

hwrResponse.Close()

Any help would be of great help to me

bye

The Load method of XmlDocument states

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Overridable Sub Load( ByVal inStream As Stream )

Therefore perhaps see if you can just use:
xDoc.Load(hwrResponse.GetResponseStream())

Let us know if this works !

However I think there is an error in your code shown

xDoc.Load(respString)

when I think you meant to say
xDoc.Load(sr)

The root element is missing.

current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about
the error and where it originated in the code.
