The other day somebody asked me if it is possible to return a business objects from a web service.  This got me to thinking about how this could/should be done.   For the record, I thought I would find some resources about this.  Here goes:

• Ryan Farley has a good blog entry about returning objects from web services
• Scott Hanselman doesn't like datasets as return types as indicated in his blog entry "Returning DataSets from WebServices is the Spawn of Satan and Represents All That Is Truly Evil in the World"
