Can you give me some example codes on how to do it? I was thinking of making the file as a mime attachment in the client side and then send it over to the web service as an object. Is that possible? Thanks! Vinh Vu

You have a few options: 1. Use Web Services Extensions and pass the file using DIME to your web service 2. Serialize your file to a byte array from the client and pass the byte array to your web service There must be other ways to pass the file as a SOAP attachment. - dip
