No Query Text Received

[owenmj]

I have a written a web service which takes some user input and then looks up
the relevant details on a SQL server.

All works fine until I embed it in the Research pane - at which point I
receive no query text when I invoke the service

I'm deploying the service on my local machine so is there an IIS setting
that I have not set that stops the data being received? ..or is the code
wrong?

QueryXML is always "" when used in the research pane...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Query code follows:

<WebMethod(Desc ription:="Query Method")Public Function Query(ByVal
QueryXML As String) As String
'SavePacket(Que ryXML, "query.txt" )

Dim xmlQuery As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
xmlQuery.LoadXm l(QueryXML)
Dim nm As XmlNamespaceMan ager = New
XmlNamespaceMan ager(xmlQuery.N ameTable)
nm.AddNamespace ("msq", "urn:Microsoft. Search.Query")
Dim queryTerm As String =
xmlQuery.Select SingleNode("//ns:QueryText", nm).InnerText
Dim domain As String =
xmlQuery.Select SingleNode("/msq:QueryPacket/msq:Query",
nm).Attributes. GetNamedItem("d omain").Value
Dim queryId As String =
xmlQuery.Select SingleNode("/msq:QueryPacket/msq:Query/msq:QueryId",
nm).InnerText
xmlQuery = Nothing

Dim ioMemStream As New MemoryStream()
Dim myXMLwriter As New XmlTextWriter(i oMemStream, Nothing)

With myXMLwriter
.Indentation = 4
.IndentChar = " "
.WriteStartDocu ment()

.WriteStartElem ent("ResponsePa cket",
"urn:Microsoft. Search.Response ")
.WriteAttribute String("provide rRevision", "1")
.WriteStartElem ent("Response")

.WriteAttribute String("Domain" , domain)
.WriteElementSt ring("QueryID", queryId)
.WriteStartElem ent("Range")
.WriteStartElem ent("Results")
.WriteStartElem ent("Content",
ns:="urn:Micros oft.Search.Resp onse.Content")

GetMatterInfo(C Int(queryTerm), myXMLwriter)

.WriteEndElemen t() ' Content
.WriteEndElemen t() ' Results
.WriteEndElemen t() ' Range
.WriteElementSt ring("Status", "SUCCESS")
.WriteEndElemen t() ' Response
.WriteEndElemen t() ' ResponsePacket
.WriteEndDocume nt()
End With

myXMLwriter.Flu sh()
ioMemStream.Flu sh()
ioMemStream.Pos ition = 0

Dim iostReader As New IO.StreamReader (ioMemStream)
Query = iostReader.Read ToEnd.ToString
End Function

END CODE

Query code follows:

<WebMethod(Desc ription:="Query Method")Public Function Query(ByVal
QueryXML As String) As String
'SavePacket(Que ryXML, "query.txt" )

Is QueryXML.Length = 0 at this point in your code? If so, then there was no
point in including the rest of your code.

If it was not blank at this point, please tell me, and I'll take another
look at your code.

P.S. Not everyone here knows about the Research Pane. I don't, for instance.
You might want to post a few links to information on the Research Pane.
