Send XML to MSMQ without <string> wrapper

[supermatchgame]

I have written some code that sends the XML from an XMLDocument into an MSMQ message. The message arrives at the queue fine but for some reason the format of the message is:

<?xml version="1.0"?><string>my xml.. </string>

This is causing problems because my middleware engine is expecting the XML without the string wrapper and is refusing to process the message.

Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to send data to MSMQ without this <string></string> wrapper getting appended or if I need to approach this differently?

Thanks!

xml requires a root node, so if you want to turn

<?xml version="1.0"?><string>my xml.. </string>

into

<?xml version="1.0"?>my xml..

then technically you are not passing xml to the service, only text.
the simplest solution is to get the inner text of the xml document's root node

var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(...);
var text = doc.InnerXml;
//send text to service;

it's been awhile since I worked with with raw xml, so I am probably off with member names of XmlDocument, but the idea is there.
