.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / February 2005How do i catch the row xml data from the return value of a web method
My [web method] returns some obscure class which is somehow very complicated and follow an xml schema. I know by definition that web services send xml packed inside soap packets. Is there a way i can capture the xml return by my call and serialize it into a file? Many thanks in advance JB Well, a little more information would be of help. - What programming language and which developing environment are you using? - Did you write the webmethod yourself or is the webmethod from somewhere else? As you write that it returns some "obscure class", I would tend to believe that you use a webservice placed in the internet. If that's true, please post the URL. - Have you already tried to view the webservice with Internet Explorer? Normally there are descriptions for webservices that are meant to be consumed by public. - How did you call the webservice when you got the return in question? Sigi well , the web service is has a punlicly available wsdl. I have not written the web service . The class is well defined and can be seen through the proxy class added by visual studio . The class reflects the structure of a well defined xml schema and i may not be allowed to post the url of as . But it is true that there is a wsdl accessible through an internet brower. I use C# . It is just too complicated to read fields from the class . I beleive a dataset would be more intuitive to work with. So it would be great if i could read the return class into an xml file that can be processed trhough a dataset instead of the class returned which somehow complicated.

In that case your returned data is exactly of the type defined for the returnvalue of the webmethod in the webservice. So it solely depends on this type and how you would serialize it. How to serialize Objects with C# is explained by an example at the following URL: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/objserial.asp If you only want to do databinding, the following could be of interest: http://www.codetools.com/vb/net/leaditwebservicewrapper.asp?df=100&forumid=14615 &select=1015729#xx1015729xx Hope that helps. Otherwise please post again. Sigi The first link looks like what i was looking for. Many thanks...

I hope the inheritance of the returned class will not cause any problems.
