Question

my url is :

http://localhost:8983/solr/db/select/?q=searchtext&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on

How can i get response (xml data) from this url in asp.net. my result search is :

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
String a = response.ResponseUri.ToString();

But, I cant get content of xml data.

Answer 1

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);

String a = readStream.ReadToEnd();

Answer 2

ResponseUri is just the URL for the response. You need to use GetResponseStream().

You should probably be using the XmlDocument class.

Your code would look something like this:

        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(response.GetResponseStream());
        string root = doc.DocumentElement.OuterXml;
