how to remove webservice headers

[GADOI]

Hello:
I have a web swervice that returns a formatted KML (Google earth) xml
document.
Google Earth says it can consume it IF the top level element starts with :
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2">

When I return data as string from my web servive it returns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<anyType xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" d1p1:type="q1:string"
xmlns:d1p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.ga.gov/GeoKML/GeoKML.asmx">
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2">

and then Google cannot use it - so I need to learn how to remove the

<anyType xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" d1p1:type="q1:string"
xmlns:d1p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.ga.gov/GeoKML/GeoKML.asmx">

What properties and methods do you suggest. and what event
Thanks

You don't need to learn how to remove the "header". You need to learn how to
return the correct data. You are not returning a string. You are returning
XML. XML is not the same thing as string. You should almost never manipulate
XML as a string. There's an entire System.Xml namespace for manipulating
XML. Learn to use it.

Among other things, if your service created the correct XML in a
System.Xml.XmlDocument instance and then returned that, you would not have
this problem.

John:
It seems to me even if I returned a proper XML document, I would still get
an unusable header - what am I missing here ?
Thank you
