Yes it will work- note GetChanges returns an untyped Dataset. Trying to make Get changes work with typed Datasets is not worth it - I gave up after a week.
I extended it further -- in the above the server is always receiving an untyped dataset. For convenience I made the server send untyped datasets and converted them to typed in the client access module. The main advantage here is that the dataaccess layer of the server is not typed this saves huge amounts of work when changing datatypes or adding new columns to the DB. When remoting datasets try to use binary . In addition it is also worth looking into compressed streams. Ben -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

I forgot to do so last time :( If I.... 1) create a strong type dataset (dsServer) on the server and pass it to the client, which has a dataset defined (dsClient) on the form bound to a grid using the schema of my dataset (dsServer). 2) I assign dsClient to dsServer (same type of dataset) and let the user update the data in the grid. 3) Then they click the save button. 4) I create a dataset of the dsClient type and assign it the GetChanges of dsClient. 5) I then pass this smaller dataset to the server manager object which excepts a dataset of type dsServer (same as dsClient). The above senario works with remoting right? -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

The main issue I have run into is typed dataTables are not serializable. Most people (including my self) use GetChanges and send the Dataset but this sends an untyped dataset.
