Look out! dotNet newbie coming through.
I really like the new DataSets available in ADO.NET and i understand that
they replace RecordSets for a number of reasons. Is there any backward
compatibility though? An XML transform that converts a DataSet to a
RecordSet?
I have a Client App on a COM platform that currently gets data from a Web
Server. The Web Server sends a disconnected RecordSet to the client rendered
as XML. The client then works with the RecordSet and in some cases updates
the RecordSet and sends it back to the server. Think pre-dotNet web service.
I would like this same Client App to (with the flick of a switch) talk to
both the old pre-dotNet service and a new dotNet WebService. The only way i
can think of doing this is to define my own proprietary XML language and
make both server platforms spit it out. This could take some time (the
client app has lots of RecordSet manipulation code in it).
Surely there is some way of EASILY making a WebServices return a RecordSet,
or make a ASP page return a DataSet?
Thanks,
Matt
