Question

I would like to use SAX/DOM parser in this below code to read a xml in HttpWebResponse
instead of using XmlSerializer.

Please help me how to do it?

  HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(requestURI) as HttpWebRequest;
  request.Credentials = _cred;
  WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

  XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyXMLClass));
  myXMLClassObj = ser.Deserialize(response.GetResponseStream()) as MyXMLClass;

Answer 1

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(requestURI) as HttpWebRequest;
  request.Credentials = _cred;
  WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();        
System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    doc.Load(response.GetResponseStream());

    var elements = doc.GetElementById("myelement");

    foreach (var el in elements)
    {
        //Do something
    }

This is an example of redirecting the response to an xmldocument and pulling some elements out.
