Question

I have XML files in a directory that I wish to get over to a webservice on a server that will validate them and return a true/false as to whether they are valid in construct and values etc. Reason for server side processing is that the validation rules may change from time to time and need to adjust in one place as opposed to all client machines.

What would be the best mechanism to do this?

At the moment am wondering if passing the XMLDocument object from the client to the webservice as a parameter may be the way to go?

Am using .net 3 for this in C#

You might consider using something like a WCF service and streaming the xml up using the GZipStream. I am doing something similar to this and it is working pretty well.
