Receiving an HTTP Post C#

[digitalcolony]

I need to setup a web page that receives an XML document via an HTTP
post. Should I use an HTTP handler, web service, webRequest, Stream or
something else? In Classic ASP I used the "Request" and it worked.
Any example links would also be helpful.

I would say that depends on what kind of XML it is (is it SOAP or Plain Old
XML aka POX?) and what happens with it afterwards (do you simply store it
somewhere or do you need to parse it?).

Hi,
WebRequest is the easy way.
Web services is better, but a little harder to implement.
It depends on your application needs.

Plain Old XML (not SOAP). I've got the code written that parses the
XML, just not the part that "catches" it.

The page doesn't make a request out. It sits and waits for a post.

You can try System.Net.HttpListener.

HttpListener is not page specific.
WebRequest asks that I request data from a URL.

What I need is a page that receives XML from a POST. I don't need to
POST out, I need to receive that POST. What object does this?

In Classic ASP it was the Request object.

Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.FreethreadedDomDocument")
oXML.async = False
oXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
oXML.load(Request)
sPost = oXML.xml

Anyone know the C# equal to these 5 lines of code?

Read the XML directly from HttpRequest.InputStream, like

protected void UploadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// LoadXml() represents your XML processing code. It should work
// with a System.IO.Stream
LoadXml(Request.InputStream);
}

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. InputStream is exactly
what I needed.

string rawXML="";
XmlTextReader reader = null;
reader = new XmlTextReader(Request.InputStream);
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(reader);
rawXML = xmlDoc.InnerXml;
