Thanks for your answer. I have tried to serialize the datatable to write
out a file on the filesystem (XMLHTTP is probably better...) (it is not an
entire Dataset but a strongly typed DataTable) as follows:
public ProductCodeDS.PPRCDataTable ProductCodeDT = new
ProductCodeDS.PPRCDataTable()
*misc code here*
StreamWriter s1 = new StreamWriter(HTTPContext.Current.Server.MapPath
("../Search/SearchTable.xml"));
XMLSerializer xml1 = new XMLSerializer(ProductCodeDT.GetType());
xml1.Serialize(s1,ProductCodeDT);
The instantiation of the XMLSerializer fails because I need to perform an
Add(object) on the ProductCodeDS+PPRCDataTable due to its implementing
IEnumerable. I don't understand what that means.

search - Best Practices
I'm pretty sure that the cache would not be available b/c the
applications have different IIS contexts. This is a result of different
name spaces, global.asa files, virtual directories, etc. I would
suggest streaming the datatable as xml from one application to the
other. This could be achieved via a web services or xml.http and would
not require you to change the structure of your existing applications.
HTH,

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Passing a datatable schema to perform search
- Best Practices
Hi all,
I am trying to pass a datatable from one Web Application to a Search
Application. The Search Application should take the datatable, examine
its
schema, and dynamically create a search form consisting of labels and
textboxes based on the keys I have defined in the table (basically, any
indexed field in the datatable should have a textbox/label assigned to
it).
Putting it in the HTTPContext.Current.cache from the "Web Application"
doesnt work , because the "Search Application" indicates that there are
no
items in the cache. These two applications have their own separate
"bin"
folders out on the development server.
Is there a better way to do this?
