You can send it as any other primitive objects. Here is an example using a DataSet object.
From a web form or a windows application form a XML file is sent to a web service, it modify it depending on business logic and send it back to the client.

//1. Let be a service named GBTestXML

[WebService(Namespace="[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/GBTestXML/")[/URL]]
public class TestXMLSer : System.Web.Services.WebService
{

	[WebMethod (Description="Process DS")]
		public DataSet TestDS(DataSet ds)
		{
			// Alter the received DataSet 
			ds.Tables[0].Rows[1]["firstname"]="Blablabala";
			// Send Back the DataSet
			return  ds;
		}
}
//2. Add the GBTextXML web service as Reference in your web form application or windows form application.
//3. Let be "Button1" a button on the form and the next handler will pass a XML file to the GBTextXML service and the service returns some data.
public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
	protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button Button1;
	private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			DataSet ds = new DataSet();
			ds.ReadXml("myfile.xml");
			TestXMLSer ser = new TestXMLSer ();
			ds = ser.TestDS(ds);
                        ds.WriteXml("myfile.xml");
                        //
			


		}

}
