XmlDocument to read XML file, passed as SOAP message body

[EDN Admin]

Hello all,

I am using XmlDocument to read an XML documents contents and then pass those contents along in the SOAP message body of a web service request. However, in the data that is actually getting passed along in the call (that was read from the XML document) the
< and > symbols are being replaced with &gt; and &lt; which is causing issues on the receiving end.
What am I missing?

Here is a snippet of my code:

<pre class="prettyprint" style=" string filePath = FileList.SelectedItem.Value;
string doc = File.ReadAllText(filePath);

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument { PreserveWhitespace = true };
xDoc.LoadXml(doc);


MyService.TransactionRequest request = new MyService.TransactionRequest { message = xDoc.OuterXml };


MyService.TransactionClient client = new MyService.TransactionClient();


client.ProcessTransaction(request);[/code]

Thanks for any and all help.
