remoting/web services passing typed datasets

[Masa Ito]

We are testing speed/functionality of remoting and web services while
planning a distributed windows forms application.

With web services, it is very easy to pass a dataset, but is it possible to
pass a typed dataset? If not, is there a way to convert the dataset into
the typed dataset?

Masa,

Assuming that your typed dataset inherits from dataset.
Than it should in my opinion not even need to think about it why it would
not go.

When you want to proceed with it strongly typed in your webservice you need
of course that stronglytypedclass in your webservice to be able to use it.

I never tried this, however I see no problem.

So why do you not just try it?

Just my thought,

Cor

A typed dataset is serializable, so no problem.
