Null fields are missing, how can I prevent this and return all fields in the
dataset.
I am using the XML returned from a DOTNET XML webservice with a data island
in Internet Explorer. The error occurs when the updated XML is posted back
to the server with missing fields. How can the Web Service return all the
database fields in the first place ?

As far as I know that is just the way it is. Maybe someone else can
ellaborate though.
What I do know is that even if you add the missing elements manually
you must add them with the xsi:nil="true" attribute, at least for
non-string nullable fields.

See my previous post:

What I do to solve the problem of the missing nulls is add the elements
back to the XML based on the schema.
