Question : ASP.NET web service load xml

I am new to XML and web services so thank you for your patience.

I am working in VS 2008, VB.NET.

I have created a web service that loads a local XML file, parses values from the XML file and saves them to a SQL server. I would now like to test the web service with XML being posted to it, as it will be when it is live.

I would like for you to help me with two things:

• The code required to load the XML posted to the website

• Recommend a program that will simulate XML being posted to my web service ( I found webinject but I don't know if there are better tools out there)

My current code for loading the local XML file is :
 

1: 2:

doc = New XmlDocument() doc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/") & "XMLPost.xml")

Thank you for your help

Answer : ASP.NET web service load xml

When you say 'receiving XML from HTTP post', I'm assuming that the contents of the xml will come in as a string.

If that's the case, try:

doc.LoadXml(strPOXMLData)
