Re: returning strongly typed dataset from web service

This is not correct.

When you reference a web service, a proxy class for the web service is
created on the web service consumer. BUT, proxies for all possible
webMethod return types are NOT created.

If the client will be receiving a strongly-typed DataSet, then the client
will need this class referenced directly. This can be accomplished by the
strongly-typed DataSet existing in a separate assembly that both the web
service and it's consumer can both reference separately, or a copy of the
class exists in another place for the client to reference.

Hi Sundar,
I did create an .xsd schema first, and created a class file for that xsd
schema using
SDK Command prompt. How would I reference that class on the client side
if I
do not create a .dll library. Do I need to include that class on the
client
project as well?

You don't need to do _anything_ to reference the class on the client side.
Simply define your web service to return the strongly-typed dataset. Then
use Add Web Reference in your client application to cause VS.NET to create
the necessary proxy classes. One of those classes will be a client-side
version of the server-side dataset. You will use that class on the client
side.

You will _never_ reference server-side classes on the client side. NEVER.
