Browse All TopicsHi,
I have a web service which gives me a dataset with 5 tables to a fat VB.Net client. I have a function that i call from teh fat client which returns my built dataset.
I need help please with the process flow of getting updates, inserts deletes back to the sql server thru the web service.
So if i add or edit a record say on table 3 how do i get that change back to the sql server tru my web service?
must i create a function on the web service which accepts a Dataset object and pass the dataset to it? if so then how do i then update the sql tables?
Is there a way to just send the update of table3 thru the web service to sql server instead of sending th eentire dataset?
thanks

When a dataset is passed to and from a web service I believe the data is converted into raw xml, and you loose all extra information that indicates a field was changed.
I think you might have to create a separate web method to perform the updates and inserts.
