Hi! I'm wondering whether somebody might be able to put me on
the right track.
The application I am designing needs to read some licencing information.
I have approached it this way:
The VB.NET app connects to a web service function, passing a GUID.
This GUID is located in the database and some data should be returned such as licencee name, expiration date etc etc.
As I see it, the most efficient way to handle returning multiple values from a web service should be to compile it as XML on the web service side, send it through the link to the VB.NET app, where it should decompile the information and place the values in their respective variables.
My problem is this: I really don't know how to go about doing so and was wondering whether any brainier people might be able to either point me in the right direction or write me a quick example to learn from.
Any help is appreciated.
Craig
