The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized (when trying to access repository svn)

Question

I want to use a file that is in my svn repository as follows:

     public List <XElement> TableReqDAL (string file)
     {


         XDocument xml = XDocument.Load ("http://source:8080/svn/DataWarehouse/MEX/trunk/TSO/Mappings/" + file + ".xml");
        (...)

     }

I get this error:

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Have a look at this thread,

XMLDocument.Load(url) through a proxy

You're going to need to authenticate before you can access the resource - try browsing to the URL in your browser, you are going to be presented with a username\\password dialog - you need to do this programmatically.
