wsdl missing type definition (remoting over soap)

[Jigar.Patel]

I have simple remoting server exposing following simple method. When I try to
add webreference to this server in another project,
it gives me following error:
Custom tool error: Unable to import WebService/Schema. Unable to import
binding 'MyRemoteObject Binding' from namespace
'http://schemas.microso ft.com/clr/nsassem/RemoteServer/RemoteServer%2C %20Version%3D1. 0.0.0%2C%20Cult ure%3Dneutral%2 C%20PublicKeyTo ken%3Dnull'.
Unable to import operation 'GetEmpInfo'.
The datatype
'http://schemas.microso ft.com/clr/nsassem/Brooks.EES.Fram ework.DataAcces s/Brooks.EES.Fram ework.DataStruc ture%2C%20Versi on%3D1.0.1.1%2C %20Culture%3Dne utral%2C%20Publ icKeyToken%3Dbb f6413da47c0685: EmpDetail' is missing.
After some tests, following are my findings.
1. Currently EmpDetail class is defined in different namespace and different
DLL from the remoting server.
2. In this setup, ?wsdl generates wsdl which is missing the type definition
of the EmpDetails, which is resulting in above error.

3. If I remove get/set methods from the EmpDetail class, ?wsdl generates
correct wsdl with EmpDetalis type definition in the wsdl.
4. If I define EmpDetails class in the same namesapce and same dll (no
change in the EmpDetails definition), ?wsdl generates correct wsdl with the
type definition of EmpDetail calss.

Im I missing something? or How can I instruct ?wsdl to include all type
definition.

Example Code: RemoteServer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
using Brooks.EES.Fram ework.DataAcces s;
namespace RemoteServer
{
class MyRemoteObject : System.MarshalB yRefObject
{
public EmpDetail GetEmpInfo()
{
return new EmpDetail();
}
}
}

namespace Brooks.EES.Fram ework.DataAcces s
{
[Serializable]
public class EmpDetail
{
private string _Id;
private string _description;

public string Id
{
get
{
return _Id;
}
set
{
_Id = value;
}
}

public string Description
{
get
{
return _description;
}
set
{
_description = value;
}
}
}
}

Here is the wsdl snipate which is missing type definition.
