I have been using Xml streams for quite some time. When I use them in an ASP.Net page, using SOAP or Ajax calls, I sometimes want to see what I send and what I recieve from the server. Showing them on the page was always a bit of tweak. This ample code demonstrates a very simple tweek. It provides a label that can show the xml Text (as its content or Text property) on the page, by rendering the simpel characters.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When the control is compiled I can use it as one of the two ways:<\/span><\/div>\n
