Accessing a databse with a web service

[xsonny]

I have to access a SQL Database using a web service.

The web service can not be refrenced for some reason and I am unable to create any instances of it.

I would like to know if I would be able to use some class that can take a,

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x:xxxx/blahblah.asxp?so_on_and_so_forth

string, and return the value to either an html, xml or excel document.

plz n thx

I'll explain better.

Basically i need to be able to do the following:

_______ srv = new _______();
srv.Execute("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x:xxxx//blahblah.aspx");
//execute does not have to be the method name...
//You get the idea, i hope

The method has to display the information in some format

Display example (In Internet Browser):
name date study
steven 5/23/1989 5/18/07


I would like to know if there is a class that can do that or something similar to it. It can be displayed with XMl, HTML, Excel, ANYHTHING.

For any1 that would like to know the answer to this question...

            
Uri url = new Uri("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x:xxxx/blahblah.aspx");
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
logFile.write(response.StatusDescription);
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);

dont forget to close reder, datastream and response

now all you need to do is find an html reader
I'll have code for that in a bit =D
