How to change the element name in .asmx response? - web-services

Question

The webservice returns xml like below. The consuming client is expecting < MyMethodResult > to be < Response >.
Code:
[WebMethod]
public MyResponseObj MyMethod(MyRequestObj Request)
{
try
{
MyResponseObj response = new MyResponseObj();
response.Message = "test";
response.Status = Status.success;
return response;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
}
Actual Response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<MyMethodResponse xmlns="MyNameSpace">
<MyMethodResult>
<Status>success or failure</Status>
<Message>string</Message>
</MyMethodResult>
</MyMethodResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Expected Response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<MyMethodResponse xmlns="MyNameSpace">
**<Response>**
<Status>success or failure</Status>
<Message>string</Message>
**</Response>**
</MyMethodResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Answer 1

I got it to work by decorating the MyResponseObj class with [XmlRoot("Response")]
[XmlRoot("Response")]
public partial class MyResponseObj
{
}
