That depends on how he's calling the web service in .NET. He's probably getting back an array, an ArrayList (or something equivalent), or he's working with the XML directly (less likely). In any of those scenarios, it should be trivial to determine how many records are returned. An array and an ArrayList (or equivalent) have properties that will tell you how many records are in the list. Even if an Enumerator is returned, you don't actually need to know how many elements are in the list to process them. You just keep looping until the Enumerator gets to the end of the list.
Find out how he's calling the web service and what data type is being returned from the web service call. That will help answer the question.

I have received a question from the .NET developer that I am unable to answer. If anyone can give me a hand with this I would appreciate it. Hi Roger, How would I loop through all the values? It doesn't give me the count of records it's returning. I need this to loop through all the values.

There is a new operation called OpGetList and OpGetListResponse. I think you will see what you need now. Vikas, Here is some more information. It looks like I can do what you were asking for with regards to the Get List option. Now all I have to do is figure out how this is done in Remedy. As for the Create and Set you will need to invoke the web service for each record. I will get back to both of you later.

Yes the Create operation will have to be called for each individual record they want to create. The difference between Get and Get List is Get returns 1 record and Get List returns a set of records. You will want to use a Get List to return the list of records for a qualification. I recommend you structure your result in the following manner: Root Grouping Element (whatever you want to call it) Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4 Field 5 Field 6 Field 7 Map the form to the Grouping Element instead of Root and set the MaxOccurs to unbounded. The reason for the Grouping Element is that you can only have 1 Root element in an XML so this way you will return multiple rows. Yes the Set operation will have to be called for each individual record they want to create.

There are three operations in the web service; Create, Set, Get. This web service will be called from a .net web page. Users can create on or many records at a time from the web page. Can I assume that the web service will have to be called for each record? When using the Get operation users will need to get list of records that are assigned to them. I have created one element in the Input for the Get. This element I have called Qualification. The web site will pass me the User Name and Password of the user and the qualification i.e.; 'Assigned To' = "user". There are seven fields in the output of the Get operation. The developer on the .net side is having trouble getting the data back. He seems to think he will need to call the web service seven times for each record that exists. He bases this on the fact that when he tried to use the web service to retrieve one record he only saw the first column in the output. He has asked me if there is any way to pass all of the data in one record in one element in the web service. As I am not that familiar with this technology so I am not sure how to answer him. When using the Set operation they will be 'approving' several records at a time from a web site. Again, I assume they will have to call the web service for each record. Finally, can someone explain the difference between the Get and Get List operation? Thanks in advanced for any help.
