how to display XML as is in asp.net page

[jrenae]

Hello,

I'm using the sql server XML DataType and I would like to be able to display the straight xml to my in-house users.

I tried using the asp:xml control but all I see is are the values of the nodes.

I tried using the asp:XmlDataSource control with a treeview, but all I see are the node names themselves but no values.

This seems like it should be simple to display the nodes and their values without using an xslt file by using one of these controls.

What am I missing?

Thanks

use a GenericHandler (ashx) instead of an webform (aspx)
run the query against the db. write the xml value to the Response.Stream. you might need to add a response header to explicitly state it's xml (opposed to html). there are example s on the web of how to do this.
