You probably got xml from the server. Are you using it directly, or via XMLListCollection? If so, then updates to the dataGrid should be reflected in the main XML and you can send the xml straight back to the server. This is how I usually do it.
If you generated an ArrayCollection of value objects, you will need to manually build the xml and send it back. While we are supposed to be able to send xml documents directly using HTTPService, I heard about trouble with this and have settled on sending XML strings via normal contentType by posting name=value pairs.
