deserializing a dataset into a class, is it possible?

I've got a web method returning 42 values that I need/would like to put into a
class that has the same layout/structure.

The dataset.merge works fine to retrieve the data from the web method but I'm
at a loss as to how to get the data in the dataset into a class via serialization.

The dataset, when I serialize has the schema information along with the
elements(rows) of data however when I attempt to get that back into a class
using deserialize I get "There is an error in XML document (1, 1142)." There
is only 1 row of data being returned so I dont need arrays of anything.

I'm trying to take the data from the dataset into a memory stream using
xmltextwriter and then passing that memory stream to the xml deserialize.

Is this just a really bad way to do it?

I think I might have to re-write the web method to just return a class type but
even then that puts the class structure viewable from the .asmx file and means
I have to reference a remote data class...

Whats an easier way to do this?
