Nikolay,
In my opinion it is just using it, most serialization is done for you by
VSNet. When not as with an arraylist you have to decide what you do, however
it will always be serialized by VSNet to XML.
Just my thought,

I have tried returning some custom type from a webservice. Some data
did get through, but in a *generated* class that only has *some* resemblance
to the original type. Do you know if there is some way to have the calling
side use the same type (apart from creating that "by hand" and copying
all values)?

What I need mostly is to return data with different types as strings,
integers an so, currently I don't need to return classes or something like
them.
Is it appropriate to use hash tables?

Do you mean you want to have a webservice method that returns an int
(and another that returns a string)? That is easy, just declare the method in
the asmx as returning an int. When you call this you will get an integer back.
For these basic types serialization issues are handled automatically by the
system, you don't need to do anything special.
Hans Kesting
Hans,
Did you made those classes <serializable >?
Cor
Nikolay,
When you need a table, than in my opinion is the most easy one to use the
dataset.
Everything is than done for you.
I hope this helps,

No I need to return both in one call.
As you would declare structure
Structure Type
Dim Digit as Integer
Dim Text as String
End Structure
I want to return something similar, no need to be structure just I need to
return strings, integers, booleans as a whole.

So you want to return a single value, but you can't declare as (for ex.) "string"
because it also can be int, bool, ...
Would it work to just declare it as "object"? The receiving side should
then check the type ("is bool", "is int", .. (in C# syntax) ) to handle it further.

Nikolay,
As advice do not use a structure for this just a serializable class.
<Serializable() > Public Class Myfields
Public fielda As Integer
Public fieldb As String
End Class

I'm building an application generator and within it a user can create a new
property (for the class they are building). I'd like then to offer a list of
Types - built-in and custom - for this new property to be shown in a combo

How do you enumerate the Types available? Are their mechanisms for filtering
the list to show only (say) primitive types or custom types or reference
types?
