Hi,

- Are you crossing OS boundries?
- Which toolkits are used? (Server & Client)

I have a web method that returns a string. When I return a string that has a
carriage return and line feed in it ("\r\n") on the client side I only
receive a string including the line feed ("\n"). The carriage return
disappeared.

Thanks for your answer.
The server and the client are using the same OS. The effect appears even if
the server and the client run on the same machine. I don't use any special
toolkits.
The error is very easy to reproduce, just make a call to the following web
method:

[WebMethod]
public string Test()
{
return "\r\n";
}

On the client I get only "\n" as result.
