Body
copied!<p>I am very new to webservices in c#.</p> <p>I posted an XML into a web service with the following function: </p> <pre><code>public static XmlDocument PostXMLTransaction(string URL, XmlDocument XMLDoc) { //Declare XMLResponse document XmlDocument XMLResponse = null; //Declare an HTTP-specific implementation of the WebRequest class. HttpWebRequest objHttpWebRequest; //Declare an HTTP-specific implementation of the WebResponse class HttpWebResponse objHttpWebResponse = null; //Declare a generic view of a sequence of bytes Stream objRequestStream = null; Stream objResponseStream = null; //Declare XMLReader XmlTextReader objXMLReader; //Creates an HttpWebRequest for the specified URL. objHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL); try { //---------- Start HttpRequest //Set HttpWebRequest properties byte[] bytes; bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(XMLDoc.InnerXml); objHttpWebRequest.Method = "POST"; objHttpWebRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length; objHttpWebRequest.ContentType = "text/xml; encoding='utf-8'"; //Get Stream object objRequestStream = objHttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream(); //Writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream objRequestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); //Close stream objRequestStream.Close(); //---------- End HttpRequest //Sends the HttpWebRequest, and waits for a response. objHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)objHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(); //---------- Start HttpResponse if (objHttpWebResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK) { //Get response stream objResponseStream = objHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream(); //Load response stream into XMLReader objXMLReader = new XmlTextReader(objResponseStream); //Declare XMLDocument XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument(); xmldoc.Load(objXMLReader); //Set XMLResponse object returned from XMLReader XMLResponse = xmldoc; //Close XMLReader objXMLReader.Close(); } //Close HttpWebResponse objHttpWebResponse.Close(); } catch (WebException we) { //TODO: Add custom exception handling throw new Exception(we.Message); } catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception(ex.Message); } finally { //Close connections objRequestStream.Close(); objResponseStream.Close(); objHttpWebResponse.Close(); //Release objects objXMLReader = null; objRequestStream = null; objResponseStream = null; objHttpWebResponse = null; objHttpWebRequest = null; } //Return return XMLResponse; } </code></pre> <p>Now how do I read this XML into an XmlDocument in the webservice specified by the url parameter. I am not sure if it is possible to post data to webservices, correct me if I am wrong</p> <p>I have used this method to post xml to aspx pages but not services.</p>
