Accessing/displaying Web Service data from VB.NET Web app

[RacerX]

I have a VB.Net web application that has a web reference to a web service. This web service has a method that is returning an XML data that was retrieved from a database.

So, how do i work with the resulting XML returned by this web service. I just dont know what to put the result into.

I need to be able to examine the contents of the XML and eventually display it on a web form in a grid-view control or someithing like that.

I think I want to do something like this. I found this on the web but I think its C# but I need VB.net

Private Function GetDataNode() As XmlNode

Dim mydata As New mydata.MyConvert

Dim node As XmlNode = mydata.GetCustomers()

Return node

End Function

[RacerX]

The error I get is

Value of type 'mydata.DataSet1.CustomersDataTable' cannot be converted to 'System.Xml.XmlNode'.

So why can't it convert it to an XMLNode?

When I test the web service manually the GetCustomers method returns and XML to the browser.

I just don't get it.

Thanks.

This example reads the content of your xml document into a dataset and binds it to a datagrid:

Dim dsPubs As New DataSet()
 ' Read in XML from file
        dsPubs.ReadXml("Pubs.xml")
 
        ' Bind DataSet to DataGrid
        grdData.DataMember = "publishers"
        grdData.DataSource = dsPubs

Hope that this helps.
