Web service return only XML

Question

I am consuming a web services using Service Reference.

I converted the result return using ToString().

using (ConnectClient client = new ConnectClient("ESConnect"))
                {
                    result = client.actiService("ssss", "sss", "sss").ToString();

The I use xml.linq to read the xml.

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(result)))

I get the following error:

The content type text/plain of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly.

EDITED:

The web service is created using Apache Axis SOAP.

add a break point on "result" line and check what is coming in it from service. Seems it is not returning well formed xml. — Deepesh, Sep 06 '12 at 07:19
It does return an valid xml, but maybe the header does not tell it is a xml? — Alvin, Sep 06 '12 at 07:21
I cannot give actiService code, because it is a third party solution. — Alvin, Sep 06 '12 at 07:22
Do you need to do: result = client.actiService("ssss", "sss", "sss").InnerXML.ToString(); — Rodders, Sep 06 '12 at 08:17
after result = client.actiService("ssss", "sss", "sss").InnerXML.ToString(); it will go to exception. — Alvin, Sep 06 '12 at 09:37
It should get a xml string, what I get is html page or a empty plain/text. — Alvin, Sep 06 '12 at 09:59

If you're just parsing an XML string you could try XDocument.Load

Yes I am using it XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(reader, LoadOptions.SetLineInfo); – Alvin Sep 06 '12 at 07:56
The XDocument and XmlDocument classes are not the same. What's the error you see with XDocument.Load? – Echilon Sep 08 '12 at 09:55
