    Converting XML to byte[]

    Hi,

    I'm writing XML simulator that suppose to be a black box.
    Loads xml messages, transforms them into byte[] and sends to the other application via TCP/IP protocol without knowing how the application on the other side is implemented.

    I need to convert XML message to byte[] and send it via TCP/IP,
    but I can't use serialization, because nobody will do the desirialize on the other side(TCP/IP).
    Is there any other way?
    I have the xsd.

    Example of such xml:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<Msg xmlns:xsi="[URL]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance[/URL]" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="msg.xsd">
   <header>
     <id>7</id>
     <source_address>127.0.0.1</source_address>
   </header>
   <body>
     <location>North</location>
     <report_time>
       <day_of_month>20</day_of_month>
     </report_time>
   </body>
</Msg>
    Thanks

      what do you mean by "byte[]"?

      regards

      after reading the C# thread, it would probably be the best if you know what the message shall look like and use (e.g.) XSLT to convert it to that format.

          you can do XML to C# (or VB.NET) "translatio n" with XSLT, where you generate language code out of your XML message and then you can perform runt-time compilation and execution of your dynamically generated "assembly". pretty easy to do actually.
