I am returning an XMLDataDocument in my service since my client cannot
consume the dataset. The resulting XML does not replace ampersand characters
in the string values with & - for example -

<field>David & David</field>

The clients parser chokes on that. Is there something I can do with the
XMLDataDocument to replace such characters?

Hi David,

As for the XmlDataDocument, generally if you are using .net framework at
both client and serverside, it'll auto escape and descape those characters.
What's the client you used to consume the webservice? In addition, I think
you can try using the CDataSection to wrapper the certain field which may
contain those charaters. We can use the XmlDataDocument's
"CreateCDataSection" method to create a XmlCDataSection and insert into the
document.

#XmlCDataSection Class

#XmlDocument.CreateCDataSection Method

The client is using Axis. Java. I tried a typed dataset but they don't seem
to know what they would need to do with that so that's why I'm trying the
XML now. But they now say their parser chokes on any special characters.
Is this your only suggestion ?

Hi David,

As for the special characters, I think it is likely due to the different
implementing on soap message of the axis and .net framework webservice. If
both the client and server use the .net framework the speical characters
will be processed correctly internally. But as for the axis, since it is
not designed right compatible with .net , I think it better to use CData
Section to ensure the text data be escaped.
