string fileName = "C:\\Regsitering_Data.xml";
string uri = "https://securee.xxxxxxxxxabc.com/xmlautomation/Upload.aspx";
myRequest = WebRequest.Create(uri);
// Post method
myRequest.Method = "POST";
// content type
myRequest.ContentType = "text/xml";
// Wrap the request stream with a text-based writer
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(myRequest.GetRequestStream());
// Write the xml text into the stream
writer.WriteLine(this.GetTextFromXMLFile(fileName));
writer.Close();
// Send the data to the webserver
myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
Stream str = myResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader strReader = new StreamReader(str);
outputst = "";
while ((Page = strReader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
outputst = outputst + Page;
}
