[mpooley]

Hi
I want to read an xml page from my local server without using webrequest.
is this possible? I have looked at xmlreader etc but that wont read from a webpage.

is this possible please?

oh and the reason i dont want to use webrequest?
well at random times i am getting timeouts which cause my program to more or less lockup.

thanks

Mike

You can specify a web url to Xml file for XmlReader.Create method, and also XmlDocument.Load method. You should Try-Catch this since the file may not be available at the time of the request.
