displaying xml using reporting service web service

I'm using VS2005 web developer. I can't display XML results when using the
render method, although it renders fine.
I'm using the SQL Server 2000 reporting services web service render method
to get a byte array like this:
result = rs.Render(reportPath, format, historyID, devInfo,
parameters, _
credentials, showHideToggle, encoding, mimeType,
reportHistoryParameters, warnings, streamIDs)
This is from the sample at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSPROG/htm/rsp_ref_soapapi_service_lz_6x0z.asp
It works great if I assign HTML4.0 and EXCEL to the "format" variable.
Then I put
response.binarywrite(result)
and it is just fine.
When I try this with the XML format, it creates a file perfectly if I put
Dim stream As FileStream = File.Create("report.xml", result.Length)
but I don't know how to display the xml in a browser.
Response.binarywrite(result) and Response.writefile("report.xml") gives me
an error
The XML page cannot be displayed.
...
Cannot have a DOCTYPE declaration outside of a prolog
I guess because the XML is written inside the html.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
BillCorrection - response.writefile(filename) works, but I don't want to have to
create files on the server and clean them up all the time.
Thanks
Bill
