Consuming web service

[empyrion]

Hi,

Is it possible to consume a method from a web service written in C# that returns a dataset?
I've been searching the web but haven't found an answer.

Thanks

From what I know of web services, you can never interface directly with their code, and it doesn't matter what language they're written in.

Web services exchange data with consumers in XML format.

Right, i know the output is in XML, my question is how easy will it be to deal with that XML in php? i have never written a single line of PHP and need to access if i have to change my web services or not...
