That is simply VB code that is running on the server. Just code the VB as you would if it was an interactive VB program. You're not doing something that will be permanent, so simply outputing "doc.ToString()" to "C:\doc.txt" would work for the purpose of what you're trying to accomplish, which is seeing if your method is getting the data properly.
If the text file has what you need, then you can remove the output code knowing that your method is OK. Then you can turn your attention to the client. Otherwise, you will know that you have a problem with this method. There's plenty of examples on Google or in your MSDN documentation. Just search for "VB .NET Text File". http://www.google.com/search?q=VB+.NET+Text+File ...Glenn On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 3:05 PM, Brock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I developed an .aspx page with the same basic datagrid, much the same > code behind, and consumed the XML data file with no problems. > So I may have a problem with the method's code for making the data > available via the .asmx. > Is there a way placing code into the .asmx that will render it to a > text file?
