Hello,

I have developed an asmx webservice who return the results of a database request in two ways :

1. I return a dataset

2. I transform the dataSet into a specific table of object defined in my web service project and I return that.

When I try this functions with internet explorer he return me a xml like that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

oclone2300:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Instead of this...

use this encoding..it will work

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

as when i opened this xml in Browser it worked...

myXml.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
 <ArrayOfCommande xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">

Ok, thanks for your answer.

I don't want just to succeed to open it. My customer who use this web service will call it from php or an other web language and so I want to be sure it will work.

If I need to replace <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> by <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> how can I do that by programmation?

You have also remove the dashes, but do you know where they come from?

I realize that my XML doesn't appear very well on my first post so I edit it.

U simply have to append this line at the top of ur XML... and thoes dashes will come when u will see the xml in Browser.. if u open the same xml in note pad file ..it wont be there.. also if ur xml is under some url..then get the View Source of the page.. then copy the xml from there then open on note pad..also then u wont get any dashes.

Ok ,thanks for your explanations.

There is nothing wrong with your XML! Internet Explorer is simply pretty-printing it for you. Click on one of the "-" and see what happens.

 Yes, sorry, thank you.
