Please first understand what it is. It's called REST http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer

it is using librets library. i tried librets in perl and php . this library isn't complete and have bugs.Also it is showing that it will pull 300 at a time .. so not a good solution.

I currently pulling data using Perl script by
https://www.flexmls.com/developers/rets/tutorials/example-rets-session/ method .
it is downloading all data by this method only .
i need this solution to be in C# . i am new to C# and not know how to send request and pull feed data .
kindly help .
thanks

I think your approach is wrong towards reading all the data in one go. Your approach should be to read the data page by page. 300 records per call is fine i guess. Why its not a good solution for you?

Try this

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create (url);

// Set some reasonable limits on resources used by this request
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse ();

Console.WriteLine ("Content length is {0}", response.ContentLength);

// Get the stream associated with the response.
Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream ();

StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader (receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);

Console.WriteLine (readStream.ReadToEnd ());
response.Close ();
readStream.Close ();
