The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Convert XML in MemoryStream to String to allow me to post the XML to a third party website

Asked by kieranlarkin in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Programming for ASP.NET, .NET Framework 2.x

Tags: ,

I have built a web form using ASP.NET 2 and VB that captures the data entered, converts the data to xml and writes it as a memory stream.  What I need to do is convert the content of the XML in the memory stream into a single string that I can then pass to a third party application.   I originally wrote the XML to a file to validate it and now need to move to the next step.

 I have attached a snippet of my code as a point of reference.  Many Thanks for your helpStart Free Trial
