Actually I want an XML formatted result from the server. What I don't want is for the rich text to be interpreted as an XML string when applying it to the text control as htmlText.
All the white space in the XML string gets rendered as white space in the text control while it does render the text as HTML. For now I have used AS to strip out all the white space ( between the ending and beginning tags) and then apply the htmlText to the text control. Maybe I am still missing the easy solution............
