I have called to a web service which returns plain text of xml web service. What I want is to get that plain text (string) into data table.how can I do that. this is my code.

           WebClient client = new WebClient();
           string url =  string.Format("https://www.someurl/products.ashx");
           string response = client.DownloadString(url);

this code retruns the string(plain text) of web service.

  • Could you give an example of the xml and the result you want to display? – Jamby Nov 09 '15 at 10:04

Try following : 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.Xml;

namespace ConsoleApplication56
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string response = "";
            XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(response);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.ReadXml(reader);
        }
    }
}
