Question

I have a URL and data is being posted on that URL through ERP software from another vendor…..I want to collect the data posted on my URL in page load event from that vendor….What should be done for that in ASP.NET with c#?
He does not have a field name and he is auto-generating the string of data and then posting it automatically to my ASP.NET page.

Answer 1

First if you know what kind of data you’re going to receive then you should add:

Page.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"; //For XML Data

Then read that data in stream reader:

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Page.Request.InputStream);

The data in streamreader is Url Encoded. So you’ve to decode it before you use that further:

string main = Server.UrlDecode(sr.ReadToEnd());

That’s all. I hope it helps.
