Question about Extending a Typed DataSet Using Partial Classes

[Guest]

Dear all,

I had used partial class to extend typed dataset(ex. add a method to
TypedDataTable) in my windows-base applications and it works well.
But when I try it in a web services project, those extend functions which is
visible within web project, but invisible to client.(I create a windows-base
application then add web references point to that web project, client
application will not be able to use extend function, properties etc.)

Is it true that Extending a Typed DataSet Using Partial Classes is not
available in Web Services Project ?
Or is there anyway to enable it ?

Thanks for help.

Yes, that is right, the methods you created in the partial class will not be available in the type created by the web reference. When you create a web ref, VS looks at the WSDL to determine the types created. WSDL only defines data types exchanged as well as the web service methods. There are several ways to do what you want, share a common assembly between the client and server that has the functionality you want is one way...
