Question

User1449453972 posted

the return result when  invoking webservice always returns <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I need to remove it how it can be done?

below is my code

 <WebMethod()> _
        <ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet:=True)> _
        Public Function FillByData(ByVal strUsername As String, ByVal strPassword As String, ByVal strPara As String, ByVal XMLData As String) As String

        Dim boolCheck As New SecurityCheck

        If boolCheck.CheckSecurity(strUsername, strPassword, strPara False Then
            Return "wrong name  "
            '  Exit Function
        End If
 
        Return Biz.BAL.FillByData(XMLData, strUsername, strPara, ipAd)

    End Function

this is the result of invoking

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

<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">Invalid Username \ Password \ Company name </string>

I want to remove <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

is it possible to remove it?

Based on the return type of the webmethod you can read the values directly like:

string returnValue = serviceObj.FillByData(strUsername, strPassword, strPara, XMLData) //--consider FillByData is a WebMethod that returns the string value.
