Have you tried it this way:

[WebMethod]
public bool UpadateOrderDetailComponent(string xmlRplSkus)
{
  DataSet ds = new DataSet();
  StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlRplSkus);
  ds.ReadXml(sr, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);
  .
  .
  .
  return true;
}

This will work fine, as long as your CursorToXML returns XML that .NET recognizes. I haven't done anything lately with XML from VFP, but I seem to remember a potential problem with CursorToXML (but I don't remember anything else about it ... it was a few years ago and my memory ain't what it used to be. <g>)

>I'm calling a c# web service (vs 2005) from vfp7. What I have to do is: (1) Convert vfp7 cursor to xml, (2) pass the xml string to the ws method, and (3) create dataset from the xml string.
