Xml in datagrid instead of a proper result

Question

Hi
I'm new to FDS and I have a problem to show my data in my
data grid. As you can see below I have a datagrid and a button.When
I click on the button I search for every item which contains 'BA'
but instead of giving me all the items of my search results, the
data grid gives me my search result in a xml-format:
<articles><article><number>262</number><description>BALPEN
BIC M10 BLAUW</description></article>
Has anybody have had a similar problem and found a solution?
Thanks!

Note that this issue would be technically unrelated to FDS
(now known as
LCDS - the latest version being LCDS 2.5.1), but rather it
concerns WebServices
and the decoding SOAP into ActionScript objects. That is, FDS
is not required
to use WebServices in Flex (unless you need the proxy
service) and FDS does
not decode the SOAP responses - that is something that the
rpc.swc client
library does from the Flex SDK.
Depending on the version of Flex that you're using, it may be
a bug in the
<mx:WebService> implementation in the Flex SDK?
A new <mx:WebService> implementation was provided in
the Flex SDK which was
first made available in LCDS 2.5 which co-incided with Flex
SDK 2.0.1 Hotfix
2, and will be more widely exposed in Flex 3 (which is
currently in Beta).
The latest nightly builds for the Flex SDK 2.0.1 can be found
here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/sdk/flex2sdk.html
The latest nightly builds for the Flex SDK 3 Beta can be
found here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/sdk/flex3sdk.html
If you find a problem with WebServices, please log a bug
against the Flex
SDK at the public bug repository:
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/
You can log the bug under the "RPC: WebService" component.
When logging a WebService bug, it's best to provide the WSDL,
any XML Schema
imports, a snippet of MXML or AS3 code that you used to call
an operation
and process the result (as you did in your post), and ideally
a capture of
the SOAP response as XML.
