XML and POST

[ats]

Can anybody point me in the direction of some help/advice/tutorials etc on
the subject of filling an xml template and then posting it to another site.

I have a template for an xml document that I want to populate from a form
on the website. Once this is done I need to POST it to another URL and
receive and parse a Response back from them.

TIA

Infer a schema from the XML template document that you have, then use
the schema to infer .NET classes you can use for
serialization/deserialization, then you can instantiate those classes
and populate members with data from your form and serialize the objects
to send XML to the other URL.
The xsd.exe tool in the .NET framework SDK
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...0s(VS.80).aspx helps you
to infer a schema and to generate classes.
Then you can serialize your objects to the request stream of a
HttpWebRequest.

Are you creating both ends? If so a standard web service would be the
easiest (imo) and the entire boxing / sending of the xml is
encapsulated by the IDE

No, I am not creating both ends. I will be sending the xml data to a
payment service. It will contain credit/debit card info etc and the
response is say wether the payment was accepted or not.

Thanks for this. I will have a look at the link you posted.
