sorry i didn't get u.... r u submitting postdata?? if yes provide the format of the post data. if you want to submit post data you can create a weburi using webrequest object and set the parameters like WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create("URL to be accessed"); req.Method = "POST"; req.ContentType = "text/xml"; string str = "POST DATA"; StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream()); sw.WriteLine(str); sw.Close(); WebResponse res = req.GetResponse(); and res will contain response from the accessed URL. Regards surender

i'm so sorry i thing i missed explained here is the detail i developping a sim card website so users could enter and check calls they made (call history) . i have to send PARAMETERS (date, login username and password) to a specific url. when i'm redirecting to that url an xml file is displayed (here is URL u can check it "https://www.xfone.co.uk/mobile/CdrsView.php") but of course i can't show this page to the user i have to retreive that data to a table. hope that will give you a clearer idea. sorry for the miss-understanding regards michael

Could you simply provide an xslt stylesheet with the xml page to have it render as you like?

[michael_jhons]

:) the page which contain the url is sent by another system another provider i don't have any control on it simply i get a xml page which i want to retreivem the data regards

OK, so you can use the code posted above to read the XML into an XMLDocument on the server side - you should be able to bind this to a grid...

[michael_jhons]

ok, thank you for your time

[michael_jhons]
