Q: 

Some way of getting just the data part from a web service returning a DataTable?

I'm using an external web service that returns a DataTable. There's a couple of problems with this. The first is that there are over 20,000 columns, and .Net crashes when trying to convert the xml to a DataTable. I have to use Mono to make this work. The other problem is that it takes a lot of time to fetch all the column information. The columns "never" changes (and when they do, I know about it in advance).

I would like to just fetch the data part, and load the schema from a local file.

I very much doubt this is possible, but I thought I could ask here just in case.
