I have actually thought about this, that is why I am trying to send the whole
array collection back to the .NET web service. So far, I have managed to get
some grasp on this, but I think am missing something because when the
arraycollection is processed in the backend .NET, there is no column name
mapping with which the original data's column came from.
Say in my Flex App I have Columns1, Columns2, Columns3. When I send the array
collection to the .NET WebService, the first item in the ArrayList does not
necessarily correspond to the first column and so forth.
Thanks for the pointers. Good to learn a lot lot more.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: ArrayCollection to Delimited String
Good point. I suppose that you could throw in some regex to strip that
character out of the objects before concatenating. It's an edge case though.
Pipe delimited strings are common in legacy systems; due to the rare usage of a
pipe in text.
