Connect a webservice over a proxy and exchange dataset?

[Özden Irmak]

Hello,

I'm in need of confirmation for 2 questions. I would be glad if anybody
could help me :

1) A client computer computer is going to connect a web service we'll create
with .Net. This client computer has access to the internet over a proxy
server where they should also enter their username and password to gain
internet access. I want to ask how can I configure my client application
which will run on this computer to access my web service? I saw the WebProxy
class but there is no option to set the username and password in this class?
Am I wrong?

2) I want to pass datasets (at least datatables) between the client and
webservice (in 2 way). I'll get a dataset from the service, modify and
return it back. The same should also be possible on opposite side, I'll pass
a dataset onto webservice and it'll return the modified dataset back where
we'll update it to our local database (Sql Server 2000). Is this possible?

Thanks in advance...

Regards,
