I have a winforms application, that I'm planning to service with data from a webserver thru webservices. One of the webservices returns a dataset and I would like to know the size of the response (bytes/kb). Does anybody know if it's possible to measure the size of the response ? Thanks in advance Thomas

I found a way that gives me some idea of the size of the response. Since someone else might be looking for the same, if you write the returned dataset to a local file using the DataSet.WriteXML method and include the schema, I think you get a pretty good idea of the size. Thomas
