How to Convert a Dataset in to a delimited text file ?

Why ?
Because the contents of a single table, 1800 row dataset weights 2.5MB in XML format, while it weights 500KB in delimited text file...

Again why ?
Because you need to send it over an XML Web Service...

Again why ?
Bacause the SOAP proxy created with Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not support HTTP 1.1 compression...

I will try to figure this out in a clean way...
So far the best resource is brendan tompkins blog .

But seems to be a problem with handling multiple tables.

So long.
