The scenario is I got an orchestration which accepts a message, calls a web
service,get the response, construct a return message and sent out. Both the
request and response message are straight-forward, non-multipart messages.
i.e. the request message:
<person><age>10</age></person>

The called web service only accept a string, it should be the string
representation of the requested message. After getting result from the web
service, the response is also a string and has to convert back as a message
and send out.

The question is, I am wonderting is it possible to make the conversion
between a message and its string representation? i.e, the ToString, or
ConverToMessage() method.

Thanks in advance for your help and really appreciate it.

Tommy

Hi,

You can convert the message to an xml document using the "=" operator, and
then get the string from that.

The other way around, you can load the string (xml formatted I suppose) into
an xml docment and then convert it to a message - again using the "="
operator. This must be done withing a mesage assignment shape.
