Passing Dataset through a collection object

[GBR]

I have a collection object inherited from collection base that is used to
carry my object entities from server to client through a web service. I want
to add a dataset to this collection object and send it across. But when it
gets to the web server, its failing.

Any help would be abvised? Is this possible? Can I add a dataset object and
add it into the collection array and pass it across?

Could you please explain what "failing" means? Any error messages? Perhaps
some code would help too.

For "out of the box" thinking, take a look at:

1) SharpZlib
2) DIME - there is a sample for sending a zipped dataset as web service
attachement
3) WSE2

the scenario is:

Server: dataset ==> XML ==> zipped memory stream ==> SOAP attachment

Client: SOAP attachment ==> zipped memory stream ==> XML ==> dataset

Sorry Guys,

The error i received was "Cannot pass an object of type dataset in a
collection object...blah blah blah..."

I decided to use <dataset>.GetXML as pass it as a string through the web
service and use ReadXML on the client and assign the data to grid or other
control...

Please advise, if this is a proper way of doing things.

The way we have designed the architecture is ; we have a Carrier class
inherited from collectionbase class which is used to carry object entities as
well as datasets as xml across from server to client through web service.

Thanks,

Raj...

and

add it into the collection array and pass it across?
