Hi,
I tested and it works fine on my pc.
You'd better check the firewall and proxy.
If you are behind a proxy server please try this:
Dim rd As XmlTextReader Dim wrq As HttpWebRequest wrq = WebRequest.Create("http://www.rediff.com/rss/inrss.xml") wrq.Proxy = WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy wrq.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials rd = New XmlTextReader(wrq.GetResponse.GetResponseStream)
can i read sourcefile of this webpage in my web application?
You can read any files in your disk,if not please check the fold permission.
