HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream converts &lt; instead of < etc.
I am using an HttpWebRequest to retrieve XML data from a web service.
My content type is:
request.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";
The problem is, when I retrieve the text, everything inside the Envelope, the response, is converted. So <> are < and >, etc..
How do I retrieve the data, and retain the less than / greater than symbols for valid XML?
thanks!

Well, yeah. But I thought there should be a way of retrieving the data WITHOUT it converting in the first place.
Is that not possible? Or do you not know?
thanks.

srosebabu,
That produces the same thing.. the < >'s are converted:
</client>
<order_dataset>
<subjects>

Decoding is not helping, because it also decodes values within the elements. Then I get an error:
>>Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1
Because the text was replaced with an open carat:
<class>GVWR<26001</class>
>>Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1
Because the text was replaced with an open carat:
<class>GVWR<26001</class>
any open carets and other XML keys have to be sent as <CData></CData>
strange... but, my sample code produces XML structure correctly.
update requestUrl with the below sample url and test once.

There is only the one solution. Use: HtmlDecode
{
return Value.Replace ("&", "&").Replace("'", "'").Replace(""", "\"").Replace ("<", "<").Replace (">", ">");
}
