Jonathan, did you try creating proxy classes using Add Web Reference?
That
way, the proxy classes would take care of any deserializing, and you'd
have
nice objects to use in your code (and to persist to your database).

Hi John
Thanks for the reply.
I've done a few 'Walkthroughs' from Help etc so know how the Add Web
Reference thing works.
My problem is that the web service is on my customers intranet so I
can't
access it from my development machine so I can't create a web reference
to
access its objects. All I do have is the .wsdl and .xsd files. Can I
find
out
what objects are returned from these?

In the Add Web Reference dialog, simply point to the .WSDL file. You
don't
need the actual service. In fact, all the actual service does it return
the
WSDL and schemas.

Thanks again.
That was the first thing I tried and it added the web reference fine but I
still can't access the service's methods. The service name is 'obom' and
when
I type:
Dim ws As New obom.Service
it says 'Type obom.Service is not defined'

This class is usually in a namespace with the same name as the web service
host. So, for instance, if you called the host "services", you should look
for services.obom.Service.
