Best practice when working with web services that return objects?
- by Raj
Hello,
I'm currently working with web services that return objects such as a list of files e.g. File array.
I wanted to know whether its best practice to bind this type of object directly to my front end code for example a repeater/listview or whether to first parse it into my own list of "file class" e.g. customFiles[]
If the web service changes then it will break my front end code, however if I create my own CustomFile class, then i would only need to change my code in one place to fix the issue, but it just seems like a lot of extra work to create the same classes from a web service, i wanted to know what is the best practice for this type of work.
thanks
Raj.
