How do I consume xml and send back an xml response not using SOAP in
an asp.net aspx page using vb.net?

One way of achieving this is by using XMLHTTP on the
client to POST XML-data to server.

Then make a custom parser in the ASP.NET to read the XML
from POST-data on the Request object.

When you shall make response back to client, you put your
XML-data in the Response.Write method.

XMLHTTP will the receive the response on the client as
pure XML.

We have successfully used this method in VB6/ASP and
in .NET in order to quickly make simple websites. You
don't always have to use the whole WebForm framework :D

I was thinking about using the following in the pageload

dim doc as System.Xml.XmlDocument = new XmlDocument()
doc.Load(Request.InputStream)

Once I consume the xml I want to send xml back using http post.

thanks for the help

the following works:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Try
Dim doc As System.Xml.XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()

doc.Load(Request.InputStream)

Dim singlenode As XmlNode =
doc.SelectSingleNode("nodename1")
Dim strnodevalue As String = singlenode.InnerText

Dim nodeatt As XmlAttribute =
singlenode.Attributes("attribute1")
Dim attributevalue As String = nodeatt.InnerXml

'do something

Dim doc2 As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
doc2.Load(Server.MapPath("test.xml"))




doc2.Save(Response.OutputStream)



End Sub
