  Getting a datatable to the client via a webservice

  Dec 24, 2006 07:55 PM|LINK

  Hi

  I already can get datatables via a webservice to the client if I render them server side (building the whole table serverside).

  But how can I do this in a better way? How does this work via a DataTableConverter ?  XML?  

  If you have any ideas or pointers I hope you can share them with me.

   Sincerely

  Edward

  How would you like to present the data? In the content of a page? In a format SQL Server can import later?

  Hi Edward,

  You can just return the raw data table to the client via [WebMethod] access and then manually parse the JSON object on the client. You can also databind directly to it...

  This might help:
