Thers an example here of accepting a binary stream from a client to a
webservice method, and returning it. No reason why you cant use the same to
accept any old file and strip out the return bit.

Rudy,
If you are talking about an attachment, and you want to be
standards-compliant, then look at the DIME attachment extension that's in WSE
(Web Service Extensions).

Otherwise, you could send any file as a byte stream as John indicated, or
you can just send the Xml Document as either a string or as an XmlDocument.
The main issue is getting it into the webservice call as a method parameter -
you can't do that with the standard "file upload control" arrangement because
it's not a multipart-encoded FORM post as it is with a web page.

XML = string

so

[WebMethod]
public void Upload(string filename, string xml)
{
...
}

should do.

BTW, simple HTTP upload is more efficient than a web service
for upload.

There are some compatability issues if you send a string. Under the sheets
..net will encode this data. If you are exchanging it with another .net
application then you won't see any problems, but if you need to exchange
this data with another application that cannot or does not understand
encoding then you will run into probems.

The best way to send and receive xml is an XmlDocument object.

2 x wrong

A string with XML works fine with non .NET apps.

XmlDocument does not work with non .NET apps.
