Html encoding SOAP response

Is there anyway I can make my xml webservice not htmlencode the response
from a call to an API?

I have:
public int PerformOperation(string operation, out string result)

The content of result is html encoded, but since it contains valid xml,
I should get away with not htmlencoding it, or not?

<soap:Body
<PerformOperationResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"
<PerformOperationResult
0

</PerformOperationResult
<result
<RetrieveTreeResponse id="123"
<Node id="1"
title="TopLevelNode1"
<Node id="2"
title="2LevelNode1" /
<Node id="3"
title="2LevelNode2" /
</Node
<Node id="4"
title="TopLevelNode2" /
</RetrieveTreeResponse
</result
</PerformOperationResponse
</soap:Body

Try to use a parameter of type XmlNode instead of a string.
