Preserving white space in XML

[Mike]

Hi,
I am consuming a web service in my asp.net application. I added the
web references in Visual Studio by pointing to a wsdl file. Visual
Studio automatically creates the Reference.cs file and the code that
is used to serialize the classes used in the server's service. I
create an instance of the input variable, set my values, and pass it
to a method. The class is serialized/deserialized for me into an XML
string that is sent to the server. Pretty easy using Visual Studio.

This is all great except that I want to preserve spaces that I pass to
the web service. If I set a public variable in the input class to a
space (" "), the space will be stripped out when the serialization
takes place.

How do I edit the Reference.cs file to change this behavior? Or, can
this be defined in the wsdl file so that as I refresh my Web Reference
in Visual Studio, I will not have to make the change each time. Is
there a way to globally set preserve xml:space="preserve" for all of
my input classes?

Here is a chunk of my Reference.cs file and the code that actually
makes the method call. (although I do not think you need this)
Can someone show me how to alter it to make my resulting xml contain a
xml:space="preserve" tag?
Thanks,
Mike
