Sending XML to a Web Service

[Brent Goodwin]

I'm using a web service proxy with a method that accepts a byte[] as a parameter. The intent is to send an XML document via this byte[]. I'm trying to do it with the following code

MemoryStream byteStream = new MemoryStream()
XmlTextWriter xml = new XmlTextWriter(byteStream, System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8)

.....write the doc....

xml.Flush()
xml.Close()
byte[] data = byteStream.getBuffer()
webServiceClass.webServiceMethod(data)

the call to webServiceMethod reports a deserialization exception, array index out of bounds

Any help?

Why not just send the XML as a string and allow the underlying archtitecture
to serialize for you?
