Hi,

If I have this Website link:

http://www.islamicfinder.org/prayer_service.php?country=bahrain&city=manama&state=02&zipcode=&latitude=26.2361&longitude=50.5831&timezone=3.00&HanfiShafi=1&pmethod=4&fajrTwilight1=&fajrTwilight2=&ishaTwilight=0&ishaInterval=0&dhuhrInterval=1&maghribInterval=1&dayLight=0&simpleFormat=xml

How can I read values from that page into my aspx page?
For example I want only the first two timings.
Any help please?

But its a remote URL, how can I tell my page to read from it?

Solution 2

Define "remote". If you have control over both sites:

0) You can have the "remote" site send the query string to another web page that can perform whatever processing you might require

1) Yu can save the query string to a database shared with another web site that can periodically request rceent data.

If you don't have control over the remote site, you're pretty much out of luck.

You need to get the HTML for that page (as Shakil posted above), and then parse out the required data.

You can try this

private string GetHtmlFromUrl(string url)
        {
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);

            using (Stream stream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
            {
                using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
                {
                    string response = reader.ReadToEnd();
                    return response;
                }
            }
        }
