We can transfer DataSet in Web Service.
It will consume too much resource if the DataSet is large.

Well, you could serialise the DataSet, for example to XML, then
compress it (eg using SharpZipLib) then at the other end decompress it
and then deserialise it.

Do you really want to use such weakly typed objects in your web service?

See the docs for XmlSerializer for an example of how to serialize an
object - DataSets support serialization in the normal way.
