Downloading XML files from WP7, perhaps like etc.?

Question

I am looking at a system where users can upload xml files to a website so that others can download later. I have very little experience in this department and I don’t know where to start, so this is a pretty simple question, how can I implement such a thing? Do I need ASP hosting or something else?

Answer 1

Yes, you will need some form of hosting for the website / service. The site / service must accept the submission of XML files. There are many ways to do this, depending on what you want and the security you want to implement. Your website / service should also provide the user / application with the ability to view and download the specified XML files. Again, there are many ways to do this, and again security can be considered here.

I suggest exploring the options available to you and wish, and then ask more specific questions here.

Update
As for what you will do on the phone. You probably want POST data from APP using HttpWebRequest .
The easiest way to get data from the server is WebClient , but depending on security, you may need to use HWR.

If you do not have hosting, then what you get is likely to affect what you can do. The security of the transmitted data and its preservation will affect what you need to do.

I would start by learning / learning the basics of HTTP.
