        I have published my biztalk orchestration as a web service. It takes an xml from the user and based on the values in that and some other data in db it forms a new xml using biztalk mapper. I have to return this newly formed xml to the client. Is there any way that I can convert the newly created xml message to a string and pass the string as output?

        Thanks

          Hi Sidhu,

           I think it would suitable to place this piece of code (converting XML to string) in a send pipeline. by doing this you will leave the orchestraion untouched

          Hope it rings any bells,

            Hi Sidhu,

            Look at this link. http://www.objectsharp.com/cs/blogs/matt/archive/2007/04/17/biztalk-message-helper-methods.aspx

            It has a helper method GetStringFromBTSMessageBody, you send the message and get a string.

            Hope this helps.
