Getting a datatable to the client via a webservice

Question

User257867055 posted

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:
