Anyone know a way around this one?
I needed to get XML data from a web service. The web service (which I can't
change) outputs some of the elements as CDATA. Doesn't look like the XML data
provider included in RS2005 can handle these. Thinking it might be a problem
with the web service I created this quick test:
Create an empty XML Data Source (i.e. with an empty Connection String).
Put this into the query and it will return the values:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Simple>
<SomeInfo>Hello</SomeInfo>
<SomeInfo>World</SomeInfo>
</Simple>
</XmlData>
</Query>
However, put this in and it doesn't work:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Simple>
<SomeInfo><![CDATA[Hello]]></SomeInfo>
<SomeInfo><![CDATA[World]]></SomeInfo>
</Simple>
</XmlData>
</Query>
Annoying....

can't you stick a XSLT/XSL on the url and you'd be done?
