STEP 1: Create an XML file on your local machine
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Address> <Address1>One Microsoft Way</Address1> <City>Redmond</City> <State>WA</State> <Zip>98035</Zip> </Address> |
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Uri uri = new Uri(XML_CONFIGURATION_FILE); WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(uri); req.UseDefaultCredentials = true; WebResponse response = req.GetResponse(); Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream(); XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument(); xDoc.Load(stream); XPathNavigator xNav = xDoc.CreateNavigator(); tbDetails.Text += xNav.SelectSingleNode("/XMLNode/ChildNode/Element").Value.ToString(); } |
I always seem to forget this and like most coders, i’d like to pull up a block of code i can copy (or snippet) and paste instead of trying to remember.
In this example, i created a web reference to the Lists.asmx web service and am wanting to (1) use my default logged in credentials or (2) specify my own. I usually want to specify my own only when i am testing a generic account or another users. You should always use the default logged in user by default instead of hard coding a user’s credentials, so please don’t do this in a production environment. (more…)
