best practices receive XML

[msnews]

Hi there,

I have been assigned the task of accepting an XML file from a client and i
am not really sure what is the best way to accomplish this.

I would like to create a web service that accepts this XML file, but should
it be a web service that has 1 large string parameter? Seems clumsy to me to
treat it like a string....

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

Here's an article that talks about using a type of XmlElement which allows
the acceptance of "any xml".

also it references another article, related.
