Hello, I need to send XML data to a web service. Is there an XSD type I need to define? should I use some kind of encoding before? My problem is that the sent XML is being received encoded as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ....... now I cant do HTML decoding in the web service as the XML itself contains HTML tags inside which are also being encoded (i.e. <). Please help, Thanks in advance, Yaniv.

The XSD should have come from the Web service provider as to what the Web service expects in the XML that you are sending to the provider. > > My problem is that the sent XML is being received encoded as follows: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ....... > You should be in contact with the Web service provider about this. > now I cant do HTML decoding in the web service as the XML itself contains > HTML tags inside which are also being encoded (i.e. <). > see above
Hello Mr. Arnold, Thank you for the reply but I guess I wasn't clear enough. I own the web service and right now the type is String as I'm sending XML as String. However when I'm sending the XML to the web service I get the XML in the web service encoded (i.e. <) and not "<". My question is how can I send it so in the web service I will get XML properly (i.e. "<"). one more thing, the XML may contain HTML tags inside for example: <XML> <Items> <Item> <Title> <!-- This is the html --> <div>HTML VALUE</div> </Title> </Item> </Items> </XML> Thanks a lot, Yaniv.
I'm sorry I just noticed it's not displaying the encoded chars as I wanted. What I meant in the i.e. was &-l-t-; without the dashes.
How to do this depends on whether you're developing the contract first, or the code first. If you do contract-first, then define the element as type xsd:any. In the code, define the corresponding field or property to be of type XmlElement. -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer
