sorry, i thought you were trying to place the encrypted string into an XML
file. Didn't realise it was a Web Service.

Not sure if an encrypted over Xml through a web service would break it.
People must pass encrypted values of Web Services all the time.


Just a thought - as web services are http based, maybe the encryption it
creating a character there that could break it.
Maybe give UrlEncoding the string a try. ... Just an idea, and a problem
i've come across passing encrypted values through Http
