Question

I have searched this but really I couldn’t find the exact answer for .asmx solution. How can I create a .Net web service that is formatted as seen below? Also It will be connected with a database.

<Books>
    <Book BookID="1" BookName="BookName1" Page="100"/>
    <Book BookID="2" BookName="BookName1" Page="200"/>
    <Book BookID="3" BookName="BookName1" Page="300"/>
</Books>

You can use WCF with BasicHttpBinding for simulating .asmx web services.

you can use :

[WebMethod] 
public XmlDocument YourMethod() 
{  
} 

and you can have a look to this link:
