Suppose I have a web service in VFP 7. The web service will need to receive a variable list of parameters from the client piece. For example, the client piece may have a filter screen where a user can select a variety of options [one or more reason codes, one or more status codes, dates, amounts, accounts, etc.]
An XML File would be perfect for this [because each filter category might be a data table, with a variable number of rows in each data table]. But here's my question...
If I instantiate a web service in the client piece, can an XML file [prepared at the local end] be sent as a parameter to a web service function in VFP7? I did this in .NET, where I could send a dataset as a parameter, but wasn't sure if an XML file could be sent as a parameter in VFP.
Thanks,
Kevin
