Question

I know this must be a rookie question, but how do i accomplish that?
Because from what i have seen here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamwriter or at XMLWriter is not helping me, because i just want to save all, not write specific lines.

Basically i have an httpRequest that returns back an XML response. I am getting that in a stream, and from that i want to save it to an xml file, for later use.
Part of the code:

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
            Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse);
            string responseString = streamRead.ReadToEnd();

            XDocument blabla = XDocument.Parse(responseString);

            // Here is where the saving to a file should occur

            streamResponse.Close();
            streamRead.Close();

Why do you need to parse the file? In .NET 4 you can just write it directly to disk using a file stream like this:

using (var fileStream = File.Create("file.xml"))
{
    streamResponse.CopyTo(fileStream);
}

If you are using an earlier version of the .NET framework, you can use the method described here to copy data from one stream to another.
