Hi,
I have a problem with reading RSS data.
my code is

string url = "http://wwww.test.com";
                XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(url);
                var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
                xmlDocument.Load(reader);

I got this error

check your application running environment having access to given site or not.
if there is proxy server, no internet access, firewalls etc may preventing accessing this site via your application

go to bin folder and run it as administrator and check the error.
would you mind if i ask for actual rss url?

I got the soluation.
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "MyRSSReader/1.0");

XmlReader readers = XmlReader.Create(webClient.OpenRead(url));
var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.Load(readers);

string url="http://www.test.com";
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
                webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "MyRSSReader/1.0");

                XmlReader readers = XmlReader.Create(webClient.OpenRead(url));
                var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
                xmlDocument.Load(readers);
