Returning a dataset and using data bindings is the easiest.
 
here is some sample code for you

DataSet ds= new DataSet();

string xmlPath = PHYSICAL_PATH_TO_XML;
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(xmlPath);
ds.ReadXml(sr);
sr.Close();
//Return the table if you want
return ds.Tables[0];

The rest will be like a normal datatable operations

return ds.Tables[0];

return ds - .NET 1.1 does not support returning single tables AFAIK.
 
kindda of a delayed response, but what chad is saying is not true,
in .NET 1.1 you can still return tables.
We use it all over the place in our code.

Thanks,

How?

[WebMethod]
public DataTable GetCustomer() {
return Dataset.Customer;
}

Ive never tried it - but I've seen many many places that explicitly state this does not work and that this
is one of the additions in 2.0.
