The answers to these questions depend on what the web service returns and what you want to do with what it returns to you. For example, if it returns a DataSet/DataTable/Xml that you want to manipulate, you can create a business object that performs the manipulation for you. You can use the business object's SetCurrentDataSet() to assign a DataSet to a business object.
