Complex XML document as input parameter?

[Alfred Salton]

Can anyone point to an example that uses a dataset as the input
parameter to a web service?

Can an XMLDataDocument be used as in input parameter to the web service?

Incoming data in my application needs to be stored in SQL or as XML
file, depending on the method invoked.

1st,
maybe interesting blog entry + comments on the issue of DataSets and
Webservices. Don't fail to read the comments. . .

2nd, to answer your questions
I don't know of an example, but just define your webmethod to be
[webmethod] public void Method1(System.Data.DataSet ds1) { ... }

and that ought to work?

For arbitrary Xml input, consider XmlElement.
