Question

I am looking for a library to connect to Bugzilla which works with C#. I did find the Bugzilla C# Proxy, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for. I haven’t been able to find anything else through Google searches. Does anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks.

I ended up using the Bugzilla C# Proxy for some operations and wrote a little class that fetched the bug XML when I needed more in depth information about the bug. Note I had to modify the Bugzilla C# Proxy to expose the CookieContainer so I could use it for authentication for my XML requests.

        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(string.Format(_url, buggid));
        request.CookieContainer = _cookies;
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
        string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
        reader.Close();
        dataStream.Close();
        response.Close();

        XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
        settings.ProhibitDtd = false;
        settings.XmlResolver = null;
        settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.None;

        StringReader sr = new StringReader(responseFromServer);
        XmlReader xreader = XmlReader.Create(sr, settings);

        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(xreader);
