Consume SOAP and sending response back as Rest in C#

Question

I am working with .net 4.5 C# project. I am consuming SOAP service and then response back them to with REST with SharePoint 2013.

But the issue is part of SOAP response is not parsing as XML but as string. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Screen marked part parsing as string not XML

Code for Consuming SOAP

public HttpWebRequest CreateWebRequest(string URL)
{
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"" + URL);
webRequest.Headers.Add(@"SOAP:Action");
webRequest.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"";
webRequest.Accept = "text/xml";
webRequest.Method = "POST";
return webRequest;
}

public string ConsumeSOAP(string XML, string URL)
{
HttpWebRequest request = CreateWebRequest(URL);
XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = new XmlDocument();
soapEnvelopeXml.LoadXml(@"" + XML);

using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
soapEnvelopeXml.Save(stream);
}
using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
{
using (StreamReader rd = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
string soapResult = rd.ReadToEnd();
return soapResult;
}
}
}

Code for SOAP response to REST

public string doLogin(string memberId, string password)
{
string XML = null;
try
{
SOAPService soap = new SOAPService();
XNamespace ns = @"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";

string URL = URL;
string User = User;
string Password = Password;

string authenticateXML = string.Format(@"<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"" xmlns:web=""http://webservices.xxx.xxx.com/"">
<soapenv:Header>
<web:header>
<passWord>{0}</passWord>
<userName>{1}</userName>
</web:header>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<web:authenticate>
<authenticateRequest>
<password>{2}</password>
<username>{3}</username>
</authenticateRequest>
</web:authenticate>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>", Password, User, password, memberId);

string authenticateResponse = soap.ConsumeSOAP(authenticateXML, URL);
var authenticateResponseValue = XDocument.Parse(authenticateResponse);
XML = authenticateResponseValue.Descendants((XNamespace)"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" + "Body").First().FirstNode.ToString();
}
catch 
{

}
return XML;
}

Interface for the REST

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, UriTemplate = "/doLogin?memberId={memberId}&password={password}")]
string doLogin(string memberId, string password);

Hi,

The following code for your reference:

using System.Xml;

namespace REST_XML_LIST_GET
{
	class Program
	{
		static XmlNamespaceManager xmlnspm = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());
		static Uri sharepointUrl = new Uri("Site URL/");
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			xmlnspm.AddNamespace("atom", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
			xmlnspm.AddNamespace("d", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices");
			xmlnspm.AddNamespace("m", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata");
			NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", password", "domain");
			HttpWebRequest listRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "_api/Web/lists/getByTitle('List Name')/items");
			listRequest.Method = "GET";
			listRequest.Accept = "application/atom+xml";
			listRequest.ContentType = "application/atom+xml;type=entry";
			listRequest.Credentials = cred;
			HttpWebResponse listResponse = (HttpWebResponse)listRequest.GetResponse();
			StreamReader listReader = new StreamReader(listResponse.GetResponseStream());
			var listXml = new XmlDocument();
			listXml.LoadXml(listReader.ReadToEnd());


			//Method 1 Seperate node list
			var titleList = listXml.SelectNodes("//atom:entry/atom:content/m:properties/d:Title", xmlnspm);
			var idList = listXml.SelectNodes("//atom:entry/atom:content/m:properties/d:ID", xmlnspm);
			int i = 0;
			foreach (XmlNode title in titleList)
			{
				Console.WriteLine(title.InnerXml+" "+idList[i++].InnerXml);
			}


			//Method 2 single node list
			var prop = listXml.SelectNodes("//atom:entry/atom:content/m:properties", xmlnspm);
			foreach (XmlNode ndlist in prop)
			{
				Console.WriteLine(ndlist.SelectSingleNode("d:Title", xmlnspm).InnerXml + " " + ndlist.SelectSingleNode("d:ID", xmlnspm).InnerXml);
			}
			Console.ReadLine();

		}
	}
}
