Send data without opening a new window instance

kulrom · #1 (**permalink**) December 7th, 2005, 11:44 AM

Hi,
I just want to send the data from the domain I am to the other
domain and I don't want it to open a new window and I don't need to receive anything back. Is there any member/method of web response and request class that is able to do the job?

i.e.

Code:

Response.somethingthatidontknow("http://www.domain.com/page.aspx?param=" & value1 & "param2=" & value2 etc...)

Thanks in advance ;)

response.redirect(" the page you want to go to")

Hi friend,
Thanks for the answer but actually it was not my question. I need to first send some data or with other words to execute couple links (without opening a new windows) just same as we would do that through GET Method but on server-side if it's possible. and then i will redirect the user to the new page of my app.
Means scenario goes like this:
1. Execute link1 (i.e. http://www/domain.com/save.aspx?param=value&...etc..")
2. Execute link1 (i.e. http://www/anotherdomain.com/save.aspx?param=value&...etc..")
'notice that i would like if it is possible to stay on same page of my app durring this steps
3. Save data to DB
4. Redirect to another page i.e. Response.Redirect("mypage.aspx")

I tried with process class but i couldn't make it to the end (simply it doesnt work)

       Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("IExplore.exe")
        startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden

        Process.Start(startInfo)

        startInfo.Arguments = "http://www.somedomain.com/page.aspx?param=value&....etc."

        Process.Start(startInfo)

Thanks in advance ;)

I have no idea how to do that or if it is even possible.

I think you can do what you want with something like this:

Dim objRequest As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
dim strUrl As String = "http://www.somedomain.com/page.aspx?param=value&....etc."

objRequest = CType(System.Net.WebRequest.Create(strUrl), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
objRequest.GetResponse()

Well Peter you were right it works flawless ...
Btw, i tried with this code but it seems like it couldnt help me much

Code:

Dim getValues as String = "http://www.domain.com/reg_final.php?ref=crm836&email=" & Session("myEmail") & "&fname=" & Session("myfName") & "&lname=" & Session("mylName") & etc....."
        Dim request As Net.HttpWebRequest = Net.WebRequest.Create(getValues)
        With request
            .ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
            .Method = "GET"
        End With

Thanks a millions ;)

Btw, how to get the response in XML format ... say i tried something like this but it throws me an error all the time:

Code:

Dim response As Net.HttpWebResponse 
' Obtain the response, e.g. the XML doc 
response = CType(request.GetResponse(), Net.HttpWebResponse) 
' Obtain the response strema 
Dim s As IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream 
' Load the stream into a new dataset 
Dim ds As New DataSet 
ds.ReadXml(s) 'this line get an error msg

Thanks in advance :)

What's the error you got?

I tried something like this myself. I was just trying to get the response to a string just to show it. But I hadn't thought of dumping the stream directly to an XML document.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your kindness and willing to help me. Btw, can you show me an example how to get response no matter in XML or any other format (text file, string etc.)???
THnaks ones again :)

I haven't done this myself aside from seeing where the HttpWebResponse class is used so I'd have to take time to play with it myself to find an answer.

Need to download code?
