Stuck Streaming Xml - asp.net

Question

This is the code i have written to get the xml of one url but it says
"Data at the root level is invalid" with any url.. Can someone specify why?
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();//xml doc used for xml parsing
xdoc.LoadXml("http://latestpackagingnews.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default");//loading XML in xml doc
XmlNodeList xNodelst = xdoc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("entry");//reading node so that we can traverse thorugh the XML
Response.Write(xNodelst);

Answer 1

You need to first download your xml data using WebClient class
string downloadedString;
System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient();
downloadedString = client.DownloadString("http://latestpackagingnews.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default");
//Now write this string as an xml
//I think you can easily do it with XmlDocument class and then read it

Answer 2

The xdoc.LoadXml can not for read url, change it to xdoc.Load and it will work.

Answer 3

XmlDocument.LoadXml method awaits XML-text, but not the source URL.
First, download page content into string and then pass it to LoadXml. Here is how you can download:
public string GetUrlContent(string url)
{
var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8);
var content = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
response.Close();
return content;
}
In your case it would be:
var content = GetUrlContent("http://latestpackagingnews.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default");
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(content);
