Retrieving Remote File

[coldfusion_man]

I have a great question (for me, anyway) and am desperately hoping that I can get assistance on this since tomorrow is Friday.

How do you use a standard form with a single button to retrieve an xml file using the http protocol and bring it back to a directory. In the process of doing so, the file would have to be delimited (say, comma delimited)?

I am fairly new to using VS .Net 2005 (or, .Net 2.0), and could really use some assistance on this one. Feel free to reach via email at: jeubanks@busmgmt.net with any and all suggestions.

I know it can't be that complicated (I can do it as a web service using Cold Fusion, but we just need a basic windows form with a single submit button).

You should be able to do this:
Dim xmlDoc as new System.Xml.XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load("http://...")
xmlDoc.Save("C:\...")
