[C#] Reading an XML file

[yyy]

Hello,

I'm using C# .NET and I would like to know how can I read data from an XML file. I want to get my IP by using this XML: http://www.showmyip.com/voicexml/ . However, I keep getting an error message when I try it. Maybe someone can do it? I just want to get the IP address.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi.

U can do like this (C# code):

string URL = "http://"+ServerVariables_HTTP_HOST+ServerVariables_URL;

DataSet DS_Dados = new DataSet();

DS_Dados.ReadXml(URL+"/dados.xml", XmlReadMode.Auto);

string s;

s = DS_Dados.Tables[0].Rows[0]["FieldName"].ToString();

The variables ServerVariables_HTTP_HOST and ServerVariables_URL were setted up with the Request.ServerVariables.Get("HTTP_HOSTd Get("URL").

Good luck!

That XML document looks badly defined.

Thanks a lot luizmariano for your help :) I really appreciate this :D However, I still get the following error message: "The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server." :(

What can it be?

Yeah, what the hell is this? :blink:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<vxml version="2.0" xml:lang="en">

I'm betting it's because the XML file is bad.

Use this instead: http://www.showmyip.com/xml/ (Y)

What is wrong with that XML file? Its fully well formed... He shouldnt have no problem using it in code...

BTW: vxml is a node the author of the XML file made, it has nothing to do with the XML Def. at the top of the file...

That's the problem - both links cause the same error message :wacko: I've tried it. In the past I was able to read that XML and everything worked until a few days ago when I started getting the error message. What does that error message mean? Why do I get it? Can you try to test your code and tell me if it works for you?

It sounds like something is happening with your connection or sockets...

I cant write some code to test it atm (im a VB.NET developer) as im working on a history paper for school, but i should be able to sometime tonight. I will post my results as soon as i get time to doctor up some code ;)...

I can do it, doc :) ... When I come back from school, I'll post here an example.

:) here we go :)

I've made a class 'cIP.cs', there are the methods inside ;)

Also, I've used this URL to get the IP: http://www.showmyip.com/voicexml/

Enjoy :)

Thank you very much for your help but I still get the same message - even with your :( Does it work for you? Maybe there's something wrong with my computer? Maybe the site blocked me from getting that information?

Maybe your firewall?

I don't have any. My windows XP firewall is also disabled.
