Windows Phone 8 Web Request Async Call for XML

Question

I have a php service that generates XML. How can I parse the XML in C#? I tried using something like this:

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://devstage.jokeroo.com/rest.php"); request.Method = "GET"; request.ContentType = "text/html"; IAsyncResult result = request.BeginGetResponse(RequestCallback, request); private void RequestCallback(IAsyncResult ar) { var request = ar.AsyncState as WebRequest; Stream reader = request.EndGetResponse(ar).GetResponseStream(); //use this reader to read the content }

But it keeps throwing this exception:

An exception of type 'System.Net.ProtocolViolationException' occurred in System.Windows.ni.dll but was not handled in user code

Any suggestions?

Get rid of this line:

request.ContentType = "text/html";

You're making a GET request so there is no request body; therefore, setting the content type (for a non-existent and non-supported HTTP request body) is what's causing your error.
