Returning data tables from Web Services in .NET

This is just a small reminder, and I don't know why it gets me every time, but it does. I guess I return data tables from web services infrequently enough where I don't think about it. Maybe writing it down somewhere will help me remember. When creating a data table to return from a web service, give the table a name.


DataTable dt = new DataTable("nameMyTable");


If you don't, the first time you hit the service when testing you will get an exception about the table not having a name. And then you will curse to yourself and then give it a name and move on with your life.
