Here is an exapmle from my File Streaming chapter in Inside C# (second
edition).


using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

namespace WebPages
{
    public class WebPagesApp
    {
        [STAThread]
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string s = "http://www.microsoft.com";
            Uri uri = new Uri(s);
            WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(uri);
            WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
            Stream str = resp.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(str);

            string t = sr.ReadToEnd();
            int i = t.IndexOf("<HEAD>");
            int j = t.IndexOf("</HEAD>");
            string u = t.Substring(i, j);
            Console.WriteLine("{0}", u);
        }
    }
}

Subject: [DOTNET] FileStream question


Does anyone know if I can read a text file from a web server with the
FileStream class ?  For example, if my .net application was launched from
www.ws.com\myapp.exe, could I read a file from www.ws.com by the name of
mytextfile with the following code ?

string Dir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

file = new FileStream(Dir+"mytextfile",
FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read,FileShare.ReadWrite);

reader = new BinaryReader(file, Encoding.Unicode);
