Question

I want to send a xml file to my wcf service , how can I send it ?
Is there any way with Data Contracts or Message Contracts?
Please help.

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xmlContent);
var message = Message.CreateMessage(MessageVersion.Soap11, "urn:someRequest", new XmlNodeReader(doc));

var factory = new ChannelFactory<IRequestChannel>("serviceHttpSoap11Endpoint");
var channel = factory.CreateChannel();

var response = channel.Request(message);

channel.Close();

So, first you load the XML file in the XmlDocument object, then you adapt the above sample to send it.

I wrote a post about that a while ago: http://www.pvle.be/2009/02/send-xmldocument-using-windows-communication-foundation/
