Reading XML File From URL in C# Providing Logon Credentials

How do I read an xml file from URL that requires username and password to login to the page.

Use the following Code in C#

//Include the following packages
using System.Net;
using System.IO;


//request the particular web page
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://sharpprogrammer.com/rss.xml");

//define the login credentials of the requested file/page
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(“User Name”, “Password”);

//get the response from the request
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

//create a stream to hold the contents of the response (in this case it is the contents of the XML file
Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();

//create your XML document
XmlDocument mySourceDoc = new XmlDocument();

//load the file from the stream
mySourceDoc.Load(receiveStream);

//close the stream
receiveStream.Close()
