How do I display the return data in XML on my ASP page from my web service?

I have made a simple web service that accepts a stored procedure name and a string of data. It uses those values to create a connection to a database and executes said stored procedure that is passed the string value from the ASP page. I am trying to return the data from the stored procedure as XML back to the ASP page and display it.

I will post the code I have that is attempting to do this. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on what to do, thank you.

This is the VBScript I have on my ASP page that gets the name/value pairs from three input fields and sends the info via SOAP to the service.

Dim soapServer, soapMessage, data

    For x = 1 To Request.Form.Count()
        fieldName = Request.Form.Key(x)
        fieldValue = Request.Form.Item(x)
        If fieldName <> "Submit" And fieldName <> "Password" Then
            data = data & fieldName & "~" & fieldValue & "|"
        End If
    Next

    'service location - Production
    soapServer = "http://intranet.domain.com:54321/DataExchangeService/DataExchangeService.svc"
     
    'message including soap envelope wrapper, to send to the service
    soapMessage = "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=" & Chr(34) & "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" & Chr(34) & ">" & _
                        "<s:Body>" & _
                            "<DataExchange xmlns=" & Chr(34) & "http://tempuri.org/" & Chr(34) & ">" & _
                                "<storedProcedure>" & storedProcedure & "</storedProcedure>"  & _
                                "<data>" & data & "</data>" & _
                            "</DataExchange>" & _
                        "</s:Body>" & _
                    "</s:Envelope>"

    Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

    xmlhttp.open "POST", soapServer, False
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Man", POST & " " & soapServer & " HTTP/1.1"
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", "http://tempuri.org/IDataExchangeService/DataExchange"
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8"

    'Calling the service'
    xmlhttp.send(soapMessage)

 Response.Write xmlhttp.responseText

This is the c# code in my actual service.

public class DataExchangeService : IDataExchangeService
    {
        //The code below handles the customer match checking process
        public string DataExchange(string storedProcedure, string data)
        {
            string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DataExchangeConnString"].ConnectionString;
            string returnData = "";

            SqlParameter dataParameter = new SqlParameter();
            dataParameter.Value = data;
            dataParameter.ParameterName = "@data";

            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(storedProcedure, conn);
            SqlDataReader reader = null;

            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(dataParameter);
            
            try
            {
                conn.Open();
                reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

                while (reader.Read())
                {
                    returnData = SerializeToXml(reader);
                }
                return returnData;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                throw;
            }
            finally
            {
                reader.Close();
                conn.Close();
            }
        }//end DataExchange

        public string SerializeToXml(object value)
        {
            StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(value.GetType());
            serializer.Serialize(writer, value);
            return writer.ToString();
        }
    }//end dataexchangeservice
}//end namespace

Nothing errors out, it just does not display anything on the page other than the HTML that was already there.
