How to create a web service using an existing XML file in VB.Net

[Guest]

Hello,

I've an XML file that i would like to use in creating a web service. I have
already set up the IIS server and i can run a sample web service.

I tried creating a function so that when the web service is invoked, it will
display the content of my XML file.

Do anyone know what i can do to resolve this issue. Any help will be
greatly appreciated...

Many Thanks..........

Hi,

Try something like this

<WebMethod()> _

Public Function ReturnXml() As DataSet

Dim ds As New DataSet

ds.ReadXml("C:\temp.xml")

Return ds

End Function

Ish,

Where do you want to show the XML file (windowforms or webpages)?

However see this walkthrough, they are both in that.
