0 The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 27, 2004 Use a dataset, the .net cf support's it, so you could write a xml web service that returns a dataset and use it without problems from the pocket pc Edit: just re-read your post, i dont know how you could do that, i dont know if the .net cf support's serialization (which is how i would do it) You could write a go between, a web service that processes the xml file and returns a dataset, that would probably be the easiest method. Edit 2: I just remembered, you could grab the xml file, and process it with the classes in the System.Xml namespace. i compleatly forgot about them, but i remembered when i realised that it (.net cf) support's xml web services, it needs those classes.

0 The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2004 Sorry for taking a while to respond Anyway, im a complete n00b when it comes to that namespace aswell, so far i have only played around with the XmlSerializer, but look on google for some info, i think XPath might be worthwhile looking for.
