title: (aren't web services platform independent?) web service works in .net 2.0+ projects, but not .net 1.1
body: <p>I've been supplied a web service by a colleague that I tested by creating a quick .net 3.5 project.  the service exposes a simple method that returns a DataTable and everything works just fine.</p>
  
  <p>The production project is .net 1.1, though, and I get a runtime error on the line that creates the web service object:</p>

  <p>My first thought is to create a separate 2.0 project that dumps the data to be re-consumed by the 1.1 project, but this seems like an unnecessary step.</p>
