Wow! Thanks for the quick reply.
I did change my POST request to a GET.
My issue is in parsing the xml. I get a valid xml response.
XmlResult.LoadXml(strResult)
I get the same valid response as if I entered it in a web browser.
So my issue is parsing that results. Mainly Here-->
Dim bodyAttrib As System.Xml.XmlNodeList = XmlResult.SelectNodes
("/rsp/event")
For Each attr As XmlNode In bodyAttrib
Dim name As XmlAttribute = DirectCast(attr.Attributes.GetNamedItem
("name"), XmlAttribute)
Dim val As XmlAttribute = DirectCast(attr.Attributes.GetNamedItem
("description"), XmlAttribute)
If name IsNot Nothing AndAlso val IsNot Nothing Then
TextBox1.Text = name.Value & val.Value
End If
Next
