Either VB.Net or C# language
Can any one tell me, can you return DataTable object from WebMethod function in ASP.Net WebService.
I tried create one, its complied ok, but when test run it causes exception error, something to do with Interface of DataTable class. I am new to ASP.Net so have not got a clue!!
Anything to do with Web protocol such as SOAP, as I do not know this area as well.. Please help.
Thanks in advance
Kasie

I have had the same problem. It's because you can't return just a DataTable. You must return the entire dataset. This ensures that the table schema is carried with the table so the table can be correctly recreated on the other end of the SOAP request (i.e. the consuming end).

Thanks Planoie,
It works, wonder why I did not try the whole DataSet in the 1st place.
