Converting XML to byte[]

maya7

Hi,

I'm writing XML simulator that suppose to be a black box.
Loads xml messages, transforms them into byte[] and sends to the other application via TCP/IP protocol without knowing how the application on the other side is implemented.

I need to convert XML message to byte[] and send it via TCP/IP,
but I can't use serialization, because nobody will do the desirialize on the other side(TCP/IP).
Is there any other way?
I have the xsd.

Example of such xml:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml version="1.0"?>

<Msg xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="msg.xsd">

   <header>

     <id>7</id>

     <source_address>127.0.0.1</source_address>

   </header>

   <body>

     <location>North</location>

     <report_time>

       <day_of_month>20</day_of_month>

     </report_time>

   </body>

</Msg>

Thanks

what do you mean by "byte[]"?

regards

after reading the C# thread, it would probably be the best if you know what the message shall look like and use (e.g.) XSLT to convert it to that format.

you can do XML to C# (or VB.NET) "translation" with XSLT, where you generate language code out of your XML message and then you can perform runt-time compilation and execution of your dynamically generated "assembly". pretty easy to do actually.
