Hi all

Can anyone point me to an article or something similar which will show
me how to do the following

1) Webservice creates some object instances
2) Webservice creates some XML which looks like DataSet data
3) Client can then take the data and edit within a DataSet

The objects on the server cannot have a parameterless constructor, so I
can't make them [Serializable] (there are other reasons too). So I'd
like to have the client work with datasets instead.

Thanks

Pete,

In order for your Web Service to return XML, all you have to do is return
the XML from the DataSet.GetXML() method.

Then, client-side, you'd do this:

StringReader sr = new StringReader(XML);
MyDataSet.ReadXml(sr, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);
MyDataSet.AcceptChanges();
