I am getting my Request from a third party application(different domain) to my ASP application. I am handling the request and doing the business part in my application and as a acknowledgement I need to send XML string as Response to the same Page which POSTED the request to my Application. I was successful in retrieving the input from Request using the following code
NameValueCollection postPageCollection = Request.Form;
foreach (string name in postPageCollection.AllKeys)
{
... = postPageCollection[name]);
}
But i am not sure how to send back the response along with XML String to the site(different domain)?
EDIT: How to get the URL from where the POST happened.
Cant you just use the following code:
Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();
You can get the url that come from Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"]
For the XML, here are 2 functions that I use
public static string ObjectToXML(Type type, object obby)
{
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(type);
using (System.IO.MemoryStream stm = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
//serialize to a memory stream
ser.Serialize(stm, obby);
//reset to beginning so we can read it.
stm.Position = 0;
//Convert a string.
using (System.IO.StreamReader stmReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(stm))
{
string xmlData = stmReader.ReadToEnd();
return xmlData;
}
}
}
public static object XmlToObject(Type type, string xml)
{
object oOut = null;
//hydrate based on private string var
if (xml != null && xml.Length > 0)
{
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(type);
using (System.IO.StringReader sReader = new System.IO.StringReader(xml))
{
oOut = serializer.Deserialize(sReader);
sReader.Close();
}
}
return oOut;
}
And here is an example how I use it
[Serializable]
public class MyClassThatKeepTheData
{
public int EnaTest;
}
MyClassThatKeepTheData cTheObject = new MyClassThatKeepTheData();
ObjectToXML(typeof(MyClassThatKeepTheData), cTheObject)
