WebMethod: "There is an error in XML document"

[Mike Bridge]

Hi-

I have a WebMethod in C# (under asp.net 1.1) which returns a
collection of ISerializable objects. The web method works fine until
there are some non-ascii characters in one of the String properties,
at which point I get a "There is an error in XML document..." error.

It seems to me that there is a bug in the serializer, if it's creating
something that the deserializer can't read.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,

-Mike

Hello Mike,
The web method needs to return a collection of 'XMLSerializable' objects
not ISerializable objects. See the supported datatypes [0]
