URI formats are not supported.

[monkeybiz]

hELLO,..

 

I get this error message when i load an xmlfile from a webserver and try to save it.

 

Is this because I don't have the access rights or need to import or set something to get it to support URI format?

 

There's no prob reading the xmlfile but only when saving...

Make sure you USE webrequest for URI e.g. (http://HTTP://www.somewhere.com/mydoc.xml) and not filerequest

umm, well i did this

 

xmldocument.load("http://www.somewhere.com/myXml.xml")

 

then made some changes to the xml file then

 

xmldocument.save("http://www.somewhere.com/myXml.xml")

and there's where the exception is thrown.

 

Is this what you mean?

By the way, I didn't do any connection to the server prior to this, just directly loaded from the website..

Sorry it was my mis understanding

[monkeybiz]

No, it's okay, I appreciate your help! :)

I don't belive the XML class allows uploading, just saving to files

monkeybiz, you have me really confused. How do you expect anything to be able to save to a webserver? They are inherantly read-only. Otherwise, I could just save my work to http://www.microsoft.com. :P

[monkeybiz]

that's what i thought so too.

 

Now I'm thinking of using Java Server Pages cos I've used it before, as everytime I try to add an Active Server page, they will prompt me for some directory which I can make no sense of..

 

My friend passed me something like this:

<%ConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; DataSource=c:\blalbalba %>

 

Does this mean that I can direcly access the files on the server?

[divil]

No, that's a connection string for a database. It's possible that you could write some ASP that would write files to the webserver depending on information passed to it, but the best way would be to go in via FTP if possible.

Do this

 

Dim feed As New RSSFeed
       Dim webRead As New System.Net.WebClient
       Dim XMLDoc As XPathDocument
       '' Load data from web in XPathDocument
 
       XMLDoc = New XPathDocument(webRead.OpenRead(strRSSUrl))
       '' Makes a Node interator
       Dim docNavigator = XMLDoc.CreateNavigator()

 

If you want to node iterate.

 

Ive used WebReader because in my set of classes i access stuff that does not allways end in .xml, and XPAthDocument() doesnt like that :)

Hello!!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help and advice, I have finally solved my problem by sourcing the internet for FTP class Libraries, and I'm currentl using one now on trial version. Which is fine by me anyway cos it's a school project, not a real live commercial thing.

 

In case you're wondering, I downloaded Key Technology's FTP class libraries.
