ADO+, XML, and Web Services

[jmpnews]

Hi guys,<BR>I&#039m interested in having my webgservices return XML documents. The easiest way to do this, it seems, is to simply return the dataset, but map certain column names to match a standard schema or something. First, this seems a bit shady to me, as it would be better to directly specify the schema, or do some kinda of mapping like SQL 2000 does with the FOR XML EXPLICIT clause.<BR><BR>Can anyone give me some insight on the best way to get meaningful XML out of a dataset? The docs say that its easy to synch the two, but don&#039t specify exactally how.<BR><BR>I would really appriciate any insight. I&#039m going to need this to happed in the ADO+ objects for portability, so I can&#039t use any of the nice SQL 2k XML features.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance!<BR><BR>ErestarThe DataSet class has several methods that allow you to output it&#039s contents as XML. The WriteXML method writes the schema and data to an XML document and the WriteXMLData method writes the data contained in the dataset to an XML document. There are a couple other methods too but I can&#039t remember them off the top of my head.
