Web Services Interoperability

When I created my first public Web service, results were returned as a DataSet.
It was OK for me, because I was receiving information with a client written in .NET. But since then I felt that something was wrong. Yes, I had to change returned results type from DataSet to array of objects. So I did that. Few days later, some guy wrote me an email that he would like to use my web service in Java. Hey, no problem… now.
So interoperability for web services is a very important subject. Here are the links that helped me in that manner, hope that they will help you too.

A very cool must see MSDN TV episode called “Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperability”

“Simon Guest shows 10 developer-focused tips, strategies, and recommendations to make the Web Services you write more interoperable with other platforms.”

And don’t forget to check out the MSDN Web Services interoperability home page.
