I have an application that writes a substantial amount from a DataSet to the Cache using the DataSet.WriteXml(stringwriter) method. On the next page I attempt to perform DataSet.ReadXml() to retrieve the cached information, but I receive the error message "The path is too long after being fully qualified. Make sure path is less than 260 characters." Any ideas why this is happening? Which path is it referring to? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi burdickdave:

I encountered the same error when returning a dataset from a WebMethod. Code looks loke this:

In the WebMethod:
...
return oDs.GetXml();


In the WebClient:
oDs.ReadXml(MyStringReplyingWebMethod());

Did you find a cure for your problem?
Thanks.
