how to read xml from remote url in vb.net

You can use a WebRequest to retrieve the XML from the remote site; then you can parse the contents into an XmlDocument object.

' Create a WebRequest to the remote site
Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.domain.com/fetch.xml")

' NB! Use the following line ONLY if the website is protected
request.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")

' Call the remote site, and parse the data in a response object
Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()

' Check if the response is OK (status code 200)
If response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then

    ' Parse the contents from the response to a stream object
    Dim stream As System.IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
    ' Create a reader for the stream object
    Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(stream)
    ' Read from the stream object using the reader, put the contents in a string
    Dim contents As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
    ' Create a new, empty XML document
    Dim document As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()

    ' Load the contents into the XML document
    document.LoadXml(contents)

    ' Now you have a XmlDocument object that contains the XML from the remote site, you can
    ' use the objects and methods in the System.Xml namespace to read the document

Else
    ' If the call to the remote site fails, you'll have to handle this. There can be many reasons, ie. the 
    ' remote site does not respond (code 404) or your username and password were incorrect (code 401)
    '
    ' See the codes in the System.Net.HttpStatusCode enumerator 

    Throw New Exception("Could not retrieve document from the URL, response code: " & response.StatusCode)

End If

Along with what @Jon Skeet said there's also the built-in WebClient:

    Dim MyData As String
    Try
        Using WC As New System.Net.WebClient()
            MyData = WC.DownloadString("http://www.example.com/text.xml")
        End Using
    Catch ex As Exception
        'Error downloading
    End Try

Have you tried using XDocument.Load or XmlDocument.Load?

If those don't do what you want, please give more details.
