WCF Method is returning xml fragment but no xml UTF-8 header
- by horls
My method does not return the header, just the root element xml.
internal Message CreateReturnMessage(string output, string contentType)
{
// create dictionaryReader for the Message
byte[] resultBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(output);
XmlDictionaryReader xdr = XmlDictionaryReader.CreateTextReader(resultBytes, 0, resultBytes.Length, Encoding.UTF8, XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max, null);
if (WebOperationContext.Current != null)
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = contentType;
// create Message
return Message.CreateMessage(MessageVersion.None, "", xdr);
}
However, the output I get is:
<Test>
<Message>Hello World!</Message>
</Test>
I would like the output to render as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Test>
<Message>Hello World!</Message>
</Test>
