.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / September 2004Returning plain HTML from a web service
I have a web service that I need to return HTML code, and I can't seem to get rid of the XML tags that surround it. Right now I'm just writing the HTML into a return string, and am getting something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <string xmlns="http://HTMLSERVICE.com"><html><h3>Loaded..</h3></html></string> Ideally, I'd like to strip out the XML tags and be able to return just <html><h3>Loaded..</h3></html> to the browser. I've tried digging into the HTTP application handlers (EndRequest etc), but I can't seem to find the correct location/event to intercept the response before my service returns. Is there a way to get this type of return from a web service method? Return data from an XML web service is always enclosed in XML. If you would like to get an HTML page from the web server, try using ASP.NET web application instead of XML web service.
