    <p>ASP.NET WebServcies use the SOAP protocol. This means that whatever information you return from your WebMethods it will automatically be placed into a SOAP envelope and XML encoded. You cannot modify the way your response is formatted as you will be violating the SOAP protocol. You shouldn't worry about what is displayed in the browser. The important thing is that this is a properly formatted XML that will be received by the client (as a string result) and could be converted to XML.</p> <p>This being said what you are doing (returning string from your WebMethods representing XML) is a very bad practice as there will be a double encoding. I would recommend you defining some custom type that will represent this XML structure and return this custom type. It will make your web service easier to discover and make sense of as right now any consumer looking at the WSDL would see a method returning a string value but wouldn't know that this string represents an XML structure with some special format.</p> <p>Here's what I mean:</p> <pre><code>public class Make { public string MakeID { get; set; } public string MakeName { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>and then:</p> <pre><code>[WebMethod(Description="Return All Current Makes")] public Make[] ReturnMakes() { // Get All Records with NAME Parameter DataTable dataTable = DataAccessLayer.ExecuteDataTable("ipa_ReturnMakes"); List&lt;Make&gt; makes = new List&lt;Make&gt;(); if (dataTable.Rows.Count &gt; 0) { foreach (DataRow objRow in dataTable.Rows) { Make make = new Make { MakeID = objRow["MakeID"].ToString(), MakeName = objRow["MakeName"].ToString() }; makes.Add (make); } } return makes.ToArray(); } </code></pre>

    1. COHi Darin I tried your above solution and all I received back was ` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <ArrayOfMake xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" />` Is this what it should return? If so whats the simplest way to look at the XML within the SOAP?

    2. COFigured out what the problem was. Your code was missing makes.Add(make) so the list was not being populated. Once I added that, it all worked fine. Thanks for your help.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
