How do I pass the dataset from the client to the server through the webservice ?

Any help would be appreciated.

With a property on the web service... Pass the dataset to the webservice by setting the property to it.. then run an execute on the web service... You could, also, pass it in the constructor if you just want to send a dataset and have it proccess.

I should add- the second option is MUCH easier-- since you don't need to worry about state...

That is, unless you hire me. I am looking for work.

I'd add to what Hal Levy said. Besides using a property or constructor, you can also pass a DataSet object to a method when calling it.

Using a constructor makes more sense if you're going to preserve the DataSet for some time and process it in several methods on your Web Service. A method, on the other hand, is preferable if you're going to process the DataSet in that specific method and then discard it.

I hope it'd be helpful.
