c# - Why Web Service is converting XmlDocument parameter to System.XML.Linq.XElement Parameter -

this question has answer here:

• vs2010 confuses system.xml.xmlelement system.xml.linq.xelement? 3 answers

ide: vs 2010 c# .net 4.0

i creating simple web service take xmldocument parameter

public class mywebservice : system.web.services.webservice {     public void receivexml(xmldocument  xdoc, string strxmlfilename)     {         xmlreceiver.receive(xdoc, strxmlfilename);     } }   

when ran service , added projectb using add service reference, , went reference file found

 public void receivexml(system.xml.linq.xelement xdoc, string strxmlfilename) {        receivexmlrequest invalue = new receivexmlrequest();         invalue.body = new receivexmlrequestbody();         invalue.body.xdoc = xdoc;         invalue.body.strxmlfilename = strxmlfilename;      } 

here not getting have written xmldocument type parameter receive why refrence.cs file created function system.xml.linq.xelement xdoc paramter instead of xmldocument type..?

i trying pass abc.xml file webservice loading in xmldocument xdoc.load(strabccontent);

when publish wcf service, decoupling actual implementation of service through interface, described wsdl, technology agnostic. wsdl won't able specify content .net system.xml.xmldocument , instead specify abstraction (xs:any if remember correctly)

this why, when consuming service (even same .net technology stack), potentially different client interface (as system.xml.linq.xelement).

you can replace xmldocument.load linq 2 xml xdocument.load on client:

var myxdocument = xdocument.load(strabccontent) 

and pass service reference proxy method, receivexml
