Web service to deliver sql data through http get or post

[Geoff]

I'm new to web services but am trying to create a web service in VB.NET 2003
to query and convert MS Sql 2000 Data to a comma-delimited text file and
transfer the data based on the parameters supplied in the http request. Any
ideas or further reading suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

For the purpose of transferring data from a SQL Database to the client
through a WebService, I'd rather transfer a DataSet (DataSet is a
SOAP-Compatible type and implementation of WebMethod returning DataSet
is straight-forward).
