Is there any way to retrieve a table from a web service to a wp7 app page as its?
i just wanna sth easy to use than making a table each time getting data

Have look on MSDN for System.Xml namespace. It contains lot of usable classes. You should use XmlReader or something similair to load it to array or generic collection. Hope this helps, ’cause bit unclear question.

EDIT:

This is the code what have I done for loading sample data to generic collection:

Sample data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <studentPunishmentsTables>
  <studentPunishmentsTable>
    <fromSemester/>
    <fromSemesterDesc/>
    <issueDate>01/04/2012</issueDate>
    <note/>
    <penalty>Course Failure</penalty>
    <semester>311</semester>
    <semesterDesc>First Semester 31/32</semesterDesc>
    <toSemester/>
    <toSemesterDesc/>
  </studentPunishmentsTable>
  <studentPunishmentsTable>
    <fromSemester/>
    <fromSemesterDesc/>
    <issueDate>01/04/2012</issueDate>
    <note/>
    <penalty>Semester Failure</penalty>
    <semester>311</semester>
    <semesterDesc>First Semester 31/32</semesterDesc>
    <toSemester/>
    <toSemesterDesc/>
  </studentPunishmentsTable>
</studentPunishmentsTables>

Code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;

namespace XMLStudent
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.Load("st.xml");
            List<StudentPunishment> sp = new List<StudentPunishment>();
            foreach (XmlNode nod in doc.SelectNodes(@"studentPunishmentsTables/studentPunishmentsTable"))
            {
                StudentPunishment s = new StudentPunishment();
                s.FromSemester = nod.ChildNodes[0].InnerText;
                s.FromSemesterDesc = nod.ChildNodes[1].InnerText;
                s.IssueDate = nod.ChildNodes[2].InnerText;
                s.Note = nod.ChildNodes[3].InnerText;
                s.Penalty = nod.ChildNodes[4].InnerText;
                s.Semester = nod.ChildNodes[5].InnerText;
                s.SemesterDesc = nod.ChildNodes[6].InnerText;
                s.ToSemester = nod.ChildNodes[7].InnerText;
                s.ToSemesterDesc = nod.ChildNodes[8].InnerText;
                sp.Add(s);
            }
            Console.WriteLine(sp[0].IssueDate);
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
    class StudentPunishment
    {
        public string FromSemester { get; set; }
        public string FromSemesterDesc { get; set; }
        public string IssueDate { get; set; }
        public string Note { get; set; }
        public string Penalty { get; set; }
        public string Semester { get; set; }
        public string SemesterDesc { get; set; }
        public string ToSemester { get; set; }
        public string ToSemesterDesc { get; set; }
    }
}

So. This code is loading XMLDocument with sample data and it’s selecting data of each studentPunishmentsTable into new object of StudentPunishment class. There’re properties for holding that data. After everything is done and object of student’s punishment is added into generic collection (‘List’), code is trying to show date of first object in collection. You can test is yourself, it’s working for me.
