Hi,

Is this the error thrown by the client? Or by the server?  This kind of
error can happen if you aren't careful to manage the copy/assignment of the
in-out streams in both directions in you Soap Extension

Hope this helps

Hi I'm using the example posted on Ron Howard's site for encryting the
body of an xml file located at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/rhoward/
I'm running into trouble where i'm getting an error of this type:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to
process request. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: The root element is
missing. at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.Read() at
System.Xml.XmlReader.MoveToContent() at

protocol) at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.ReadParameters()
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandler.Invoke() at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandler.CoreProcessRequest()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Does anyone have experience doing encryption of xml file via use of
soapextensions?  I'm using the code directly from this example and
it's not working.
