(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Load XML Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into an XML object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyXml method. Prior to v9.5.0.89, and application would need to first copy the HTTP response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object by calling GetBodySb, and then load the Xml object by calling Xml.LoadSb.

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim success As Boolean

Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse = Await http.PTextAsync("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml","","","",False,False)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml

' If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the XML from the HttpResponse to the Xml, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
' This could save memory for extremely large XML responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

resp.GetBodyXml(xml)

Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())

' Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
Debug.WriteLine("----")
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)
