Jay,
That's what a webservice does by default. Just create the webservice method
and have it accept an xml parameter. XML is easily converted to and from a
dataset which is safe for sending in a webservice (data must be
serializable). In .NET 2.0 DataTables are also serializable. So you could do
something like this:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Sub XMLAcceptor(ByVal xmlDataset As Data.DataSet)
End Sub

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone can point me to a tutorial that show me how
I can set up a web service that can listen for me to send a POST from a
client? like so
Client sends http POST to http://www.mysite.com/processTheRequest. The
data being sent across is XML like so "<request><data>alot of text data
that I will manipulate and save to the sql database</data></request>"
the serverside should have some function to receive this data.
receiveData(object sender, events e)
{
manipulate the data and respond to the post with
"<response>success</response>"
}
