Opening files on the internet for reading

[zagzagzag]

Hi there! I have a problem. What i want to do, is opening a remote file on the internet (a xml file) for reading in my application. The remotehost is not running any serving functions, the file is just available on the internet. Is there anyone who knows how to do this? Thanks in advance!

I wrote an article regarding this issue. The only major drawback is that this method doesn't function in all windows versions...

Erhm. Thanks for taking the time to reply to the topic, but that was a link to a article regarding "ExtendingFileDialogs" ;)

You can use the HttpRequest class to request the file. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
