{

WebRequest myRequest = null;

WebResponse myResponse = null;

 

try

{

string Page;

string outputst;

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;

}

}

catch (Exception Ex)

{

MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message.ToString());

}

}

private string GetTextFromXMLFile(string file)

{

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(file);

string ret = reader.ReadToEnd();

reader.Close();

return ret;

}
