Hello,

My business client communicates with the server through a url link.
The link will be something like
www.justforsample/webservicefunction?parameter1=value&parameter2=value2
My webservice will get the result back from the server.
Now, my client expects the response in a html format. Something similar
to

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>application name </TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
    <TABLE>
        <TR>
            <TD>DATA</TD>
            <TD>response message</TD>
        </TR>
    </TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>

Can anyone tell me how to send the html source back as a response.
Thanks in advance,
Narmatha

Then you should probably just use an old fashioned web page (aspx) -
what you describe isn't a webservice.

I would assume there is a reason you are doing it this way. Does the
HTML need to be cleanly formatted as XML? Is it ok to have the HTML
just returned as a string? Does the client have a specific application
in mind?

If not, Josh is right. A good ol' webpage is the way to go.
