Question

I am trying to read a secure XML document from a URI in C#. I understand the basics of the XmlReader class. However I cannot figure out how to supply a username and password for the URI in code. I get the feeling it has something to do with an XmlSecureResolver object. But I can’t figure out how to set the username and password. Can anyone help me with how to set the credentials?

Thanks,
Corey

I think this should do the trick:

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("usernamne", "password");

using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse()) 
{
    using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(response.GetResponseStream()))
    {
        // Blah blah...
    }
}
