Question

Here is my code, see the part that says ???WHAT TO DO HERE??? I am not sure where I write this XML to in order to be able to send it in my POST via the objRequest there…

string project_id = context.Request.QueryString['project']; string person_id = context.Request.QueryString['person']; string post_date = context.Request.QueryString['date']; string post_hours = context.Request.QueryString['hours']; string case_num = context.Request.QueryString['case'];   HttpWebRequest objRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create('http://company.updatelog.com/projects/' + project_id + '/time_entries.xml');  objRequest.Method = 'POST';  objRequest.ContentType = 'application/xml';  XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings(); settings.Indent = true; settings.IndentChars = ('    ');   using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(?????WHAT TO DO HERE????, settings)) {     writer.WriteStartElement('time-entry');     writer.WriteElementString('person-id', person_id);     writer.WriteElementString('date', post_date);     writer.WriteElementString('hours', post_hours);     writer.WriteElementString('description', 'Worked on Case #' + case_num);     writer.WriteEndElement(); }   StreamWriter myWriter = null;   try {      myWriter = new StreamWriter(objRequest.GetRequestStream());      myWriter.Write(post_xml);  }  catch (Exception e) {      context.Response.Write(e.Message);  }  finally {      myWriter.Close();  }

You can just use an XmlTextWriter which takes a string builder which basically just writes it to memory.

Code:

var buidler = new StringBuilder(); var writer = XmlWriter.Create(builder);
