Hector,

>If you start getting a lot of data in those data sets, you can always squeeze them a little (or a lot) with something like this ( http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20031219.asp )

Interesting article ... I didn't read it all, I just skimmed some of it. But, this still comes back around to my viewpoint that a WebService should be returning standard XML that can be read by other than .NET clients, not some super-binary-serialized stuff that no one knows how to process (unless they're using the same methodology used here). Again, I didn't read the whole article, but it seems like this stuff is only for use with .NET clients.

But, interesting reading, nonetheless ... I bookmarked it and will come back and read it in more detail when I have some free time. Thanks ...
