I created a WcfService....

[Luuk]

The result looks like this

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <s:Body>
      <testResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
         <testResult>
            <resultaat xmlns="">
               <Nummer>105095306</Nummer>
            </resultaat>
         </testResult>
      </testResponse>
   </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

I want to remove 2 out if 3 tags from the result from
<testResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<testResult>
<resultaat xmlns="">

How should i do that?

My code looks likethis

 [ServiceContract]
    public interface IService1
    {
        // TODO: Add your service operations here
        [OperationContract(Name = "test")]
        XmlElement GetData2(string value);
 
    }

Look into regular expressions

[Luuk]

Can you explain how regular expressions would help in this case?

i.e. give an example of how this could be solved with regular expression?

yeah, I just looked a little more into WCFServices and the control seems to be somewhat limited over the output format, it is a bit more complicated than I thought, I need more experience since I will need to get some ready soon for my own purposes. Although I did try one tutorial, a MVC Web API and the output is very flexible; can be JSON upon request from a web page and XML by default...

It may be not what you are looking for but I hope it helps

WCF and ASP.NET Web API
"WCF is Microsoft’s unified programming model for building service-oriented applications"
...
"Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework"

short conclusion: the difference is too big, I need SOAP, I do not know WCF good enough to solve my problem, it cannot be done using WebAPI
