Hi again, You could reverse engineer this to some extent by generating a proxy for a client of the webservice then use ,something like wire shark to monitor/capture what is passed between the client and the webservice. I guess it might be an xml representation of the Dataset that gets passed. You can facilitate this if you have an instance of a Dataset by outputing/saving itself in XML format. This would all be done in a .net environment. After this you could work out what an android implementation of a client would need to pass and whether ksoap can help. As you probably know a ms Dataset is a heavy weight representation of a database or partial database including a schema definition, an object that cannot be 'instantiated' in java, which is generally used in a homogeneous .net environment.
Webservices like a lot of other things suffer a Microsoft implementation and other open source implementations which are by (ms) design deliberately incompatible...
