I use .NET services on a daily basis with flash. Flash can accept a dataset, but doesn't really know what to do with it so it just returns it to you as basic xml. I've got a DotNetDataBinder class that takes that info and turns it into a native flash object.

So even if it was a dataset it should work fine.

I really recommend using something like Charles to check the communication between flash and the server. One of the problems I've had is that servers like to send a 500 error when a soap fault occurs, and flash will never receive the soap fault and instead state something about a version mismatch. This and pretty much any connectivity problem is instantly visible using something like Charles.

I think .NET webservices usually return a WSDL if you ask for it on the query string:

I have successfully used WebServices from .NET in Flash, but there are some things that .NET devs tend to want to put in their web services (like a .NET DataSet object) which afaik Flash cannot accept. As long as those proprietary Data Types are not being used, there should be no problem though, generally speaking.

Has anyone tried to connect to a .NET webservice. This URI that I was
provided does return a WSDL file, so the webservice connector component
fails.  Is there any other method?
thanks
