Hi,

I have a method on a web services with return xmldocument. but now on the aspx file, I know how to call this method, but how to bind this xmldocument into datalist? please help.

Thanks.

XmlNode xml = callToWebservice();  // An XmlDocument returned from a WebMethod is marshalled as an XmlNode

XmlDataSource xds = new XmlDataSource();
xds.EnableCaching = false; // Caching is enabled by default. You must do this or your databound control will NEVER update
xds.LoadXml(xml.InnerXml);

theDataList.DataSource = xds;
theDataList.DataBind();

You can use xpath expressions for binding in your DataList templates. i.e. <%# XPath('//Item[@Attribute="whatever"]') %>
