@Zoltan,
I am not able to write the code using XMLReader to read the XML present in this URL

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/STIXProject/schemas/version_1.1.1/samples/STIX_IP_Watchlist.xml

I got that part, but what have you tried?

swayamrath 23-Feb-15 14:04pm

this is the code that i tried

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/STIXProject/schemas/version_1.1.1/samples/STIX_Malware_Sample.xml");
string contents = "";
while (reader.Read())
{
reader.MoveToContent();
if (reader.NodeType == System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Element)
contents += "<" + reader.Name + ">\n";
if (reader.NodeType == System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Text)
contents += reader.Value + "\n";
}
Response.Write(contents);

there are lots of way to parse data from XML so here i am describing one of the easiest method.

DataTable dt=new DataTable();
dt.ReadXml(mapPath("you_Url"));

now you can assign or you can perform any operation by using dataTable dt.

It doesn't go to the Switch() block and escapes the code for my XML URL

Zoltán Zörgő 23-Feb-15 14:21pm

I don't know what you are expericenting. I have copied the code in LinqPad and replaced the url with yours. And it works.

My apologies..I had missed the "While" part.
but having said that, the out put that i am getting is as below

>>>Example STIX document for sharing a Malware Sample>Malware Samples> Contains a fake malware sample. The 'malware sample' is a draft version of the TAXII Services Specification PDF, zipped, with a password of 'test'. The XML representation is Base64 encoded and is encapsulated in a CDATA blob.>>>>>>>>>>>>sample.zip>Characterized_By

i don;t think this is what the XML contains.

swayamrath 23-Feb-15 14:34pm

My apologies again. It perfectly parsing the XML .

Thanks for the solution.

Swayam
