Integration with Web services 1

[Strannik]

There's ASP.NET Web service which returns the database recordsets to ASP.NET web application.
The question is: what is the best way to minimize the network traffic ?
-- Use DataTable(DataSet) directly
-- Save DataTable to xml and pass the xml string to the client
-- Return recordset as array of objects.

Thanks in advance.

What I would suggest doing is adding Tracing to your web page (add Trace="True" to the Page tag at th top of your aspx page).

You will then be able to see information such as loading times etc which you can use to test all three scenarios.

Star to ca8msm for suggesting that testing be done first, preventing premature optimization.

Thanks very much Chip - personally I have tracing enabled globally so I can view it on every page whilst I am testing as I think it's very good for spotting potential "bottlenecks".
