Hi,
I have a class with some properties. When I return the object from Web
Services, it automatically serialized to XML format. My question is how can I
get that serialized XML of the object (not from client side, I want to get it
from server side itself)?

Many thanks,
ddt

It's just using the XmlSerializer to do it's work, so you can do the same. The simplest example I can think of:

<codeSnippet language="C#">
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(YourTypeHere))

StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();

serializer.Serialize(writer, yourInstance);

Debug.WriteLine(writer.ToString());
</codeSnippet>

HTH,
Drew
