Passing XML Document to WebService?

[Dave]

How can you pass an entire XML Document to a webservice (do you do this with
a SOAP envelope body?). Say a supplier sends or posts the entire updated
product & price list to your webservice.

Also, how to access or "grab" the Document within the webmethod? Is it just
a parameter?

I'm also concerned with the size limitations for the XML being passed

Any documentation on this that would be great.

Thanks.

I believe you can do this by simple using the XmlNode type as a parameter
(or return value).

Thanks, but I guess I'm also interested in seeing some code calling this
method from the client side (both .NET and non-.NET clients).
