Hi all,
Can I pass an XML document through Web Services instead of a simple string?

ASP.NET generated web services only allow the XmlNode type to be used. You
can convert it back to an XmlDocument using XmlDocument.LoadXml(
xmlNode.OuterXml ) at each end if you really need to.

See this...

Also, take a look at serialisation, it'll reduce the amount of time you have
to handle XML directly among other things.
