Disabling the soap formatter!

[mehdi_mousavi]

Hi folks,
Is there anyway to disable the soap formatter for a specific web
service? Consider the following web method:

string Method1(int param1)
{
return "test";
}

when the mentioned method is called, something like this is returned to
the caller:

<?xml version "1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns....

However, I'd like the caller to receive a plain text string, say,
"test", without being formatted into soap.

Any idea?

Thanks
Mehdi

Thats not a webservice then. Look at HTTP handlers, or .ashx files.
