Getting web service dataset into xml

[John]

Hi

I need to access to a web service method that returns a dataset type. Is
there a way to store this remote dataset as an xml file locally, using
vb.net, so I can open a local dataset on the xml? A code example would be
appreciated.

Thanks

Regards

Once the data is in the dataset, you can use its WriteXML and ReadXML
methods to persist the data locally.

Hi

Thanks for this. A code example would be great. If there is another way to
get a remote dataset into a local table than that would be even better.

Thanks

Regards

Hi John,

Again, I have given you a sample that should be completly working however
you are ignoring it, again, may I know why?

Hi Greg,

Where is the Webservice in this sample?

All regulars in this newsgroup know the XMLwrite and XMLread without
thinking.

When you drop a link, than a good one please not so very much basic.

You addressed your email to Greg but it is a reply to my post. I am Mike.

The link contains the code that answers the posters requirement "to store
this remote dataset as an xml file locally"

The code in the article is:

Private Sub WriteXmlToFile(thisDataSet As DataSet)
If thisDataSet Is Nothing Then
Return
End If
' Create a file name to write to.
Dim filename As String = "myXmlDoc.xml"
' Create the FileStream to write with.
Dim myFileStream As New System.IO.FileStream _
(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Create)
' Create an XmlTextWriter with the fileStream.
Dim myXmlWriter As New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter _
(myFileStream, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode)
' Write to the file with the WriteXml method.
thisDataSet.WriteXml(myXmlWriter)
myXmlWriter.Close()
End Sub


Cor, I don't know who the regulars but my post provided the user a way to do
what was requested and so I posted it. I don't understand why you are making
a request for me to not post basic information when it appears that is what
a poster has requested. What I posted may not be what the poster requested
but that is always a potential outcome of any help given.

Is this newsgroup for advanced users only?

Are there some Microsoft rules about this newsgroup I need to know?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

I see now that the post of John can be confusing. He had asked before this
in this newsgroup.

How can I make my vb.net app to run as service? This app reads a dataset
from a web service method and saves it in a local access table.

Knowing this than your answer is in my opinion not of much sense, however
reading the way he stated the question in this thread I can imaging why you
posted your link and it is posible he changed his mind.

So sorry for my mistake.

Hi Mike,

Now I see why I sand the message, look at the answer from OHM in this thread
and the reaction from John on this, which all are far before your message.

Are there some Microsoft rules about this newsgroup I need to know?

I thougth more on respect on other senders not on Microsoft rules, I think
that that is the behaviour of Microsoft as well.

However when you say that are not Microsoft rules I have to believe you.

Cor,

Great! We are sync'd. The OHM suggested the solution, John requested code,
I provided it.

Thanks for clarifying.

I see,

Great! We are sync'd. The OHM suggested the solution, John requested code,
I provided it.

And with that ignoring my answer to John

The code you provided is by the way very confusing, a simple
ds.writeXML(path) does the trick as well.
