Returning DataTables in WCF/.NET

Question

I have a WCF service from which I want to return a DataTable. I know that this is often a highly-debated topic, as far as whether or not returning DataTables is a good pract

Answer 1

I added the Datable to a data set and returned the table like so...

DataTable result = new DataTable("result");

//linq to populate the table

Dataset ds = new DataSet();
ds.Tables.Add(result);
return ds.Tables[0];

Hope it helps :)
