I want to query the database located on the remote server(not on my network)
based on the time frame and tables selected by the user in the GUI.I have
created a reference to it's webservices. The results should be displayed on
the browser in a My first question, how should I do this.

In the webservice, the function is defined as:

Public Function ExportPositions(ByVal SessionID As String, ByVal
StartDateTime As Date, ByVal EndDateTime As Date,
<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute("AssetID",
IsNullable:=false)> ByVal AssetList() As Long) As Position()
            Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("ExportPositions", New
Object() {SessionID, StartDateTime, EndDateTime, AssetList})
            Return CType(results(0),Position())
        End Function

Secondly, for testing purpose I did the following.Now, sinceTextbox2.Text
refers to  the column AssetList in the table and there it is stored as an
Array of Long. Now, when I do
the following, I get an error stating strring cannot be converted to
arraytype long.

doc.LoadXml(EDP.ExportPositions(TextBox1.Text,
cmbStartDateandTime.SelectedText, cmbEndDateandTime.SelectedText,
Textbox2.Text))


If I take out (Textbox2.Text) from the above line , I get the message,
Argument not specified for the parameter AssetList.
I got this function from the net that converts string to an array:

Public Sub StringToArray(ByVal sThisString As String, ByVal asResults() As
Long, Optional ByVal sDelimRows As String = "ae", Optional ByVal sDelimCols
As String = "[] ")

        Dim lPos1dDel As Long, lLenString As Long, lColSepLen As Long
        Dim lLastPos As Long, lThisRow As Long, lNumCols As Long, lThisCol
As Long, lRowSepLen As Long

        sThisString = strAsset.Text

        lLenString = Len(sThisString)
        If lLenString Then


            lLastPos = 1
            lPos1dDel = InStr(1, sThisString, sDelimRows)

            'Dim StringCount As Integer 'The number of strings to output
            'lNumCols = StringCount(sThisString, sDelimCols,
CompareMethod.Text)

            lRowSepLen = Len(sDelimRows)

            'If Not lNumCols Then
            'Convert a 1D string
            'Create buffer to store results
            ReDim asResults(0 To Int(lLenString / 2) - 1)
            'new
            'ReDim asResults(lLenString - 1)
            lPos1dDel = InStr(lLastPos, sThisString, sDelimRows,
CompareMethod.Text)
            Do While lPos1dDel
                lThisRow = lThisRow + 1
                asResults(lThisRow) = Mid$(sThisString, lLastPos, lPos1dDel
- lLastPos)
                lLastPos = lPos1dDel + lRowSepLen
                lPos1dDel = InStr(lLastPos, sThisString, sDelimRows,
CompareMethod.Text)

            Loop
            ReDim Preserve asResults(0 To (lThisRow - 1))

            'End If
            'Else
            'Erase asResults

        End If

    End Sub

This one also doesn't work.
