Possible Duplicate:
How to decode string to XML string in C#

I’m calling a webservice which returns XML. If I’m using SOAP, all is fine, I get valid XML back. If however I use POST to get the return value, the XML arrives encoded as the content of the response.
This means, all < and > are replaced with &lt; and &gt;.

Is there a way to convert the string back into valid XML? I don’t want to use a RegEx or to replace manually since I’m sure that there are a couple of other characters that have been encoded besides the < and >.

    You can use HttpServerUtility.HtmlDecode(encodedString) to return the decoded string.
