webservice in Classic ASP

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to consume a web service in classic asp page. i am able to call simple function such as HelloWorld();

my requirement is when i pass recordset or Dataset from  webservice how do i assign that in asp side.

One option was returning a common format such as xml, but my problem is when i have huge set of data it will be

very difficult to loop through the xml nodes.

Other option is creating a .net component and use it asp, but my client is not ready to do this.

i am not using MS Soap tool kit instead i am using XMLHTTP.

guyz any other way, if u need more clarrification i will provide you that

thanks in advance
