[amazon]

I have a following structure that I am using with array list:
Private Structure arrayliststruct
Public Name As String
Public value As String
Public type As String
End Structure

and following function to format arraylist the way I want and calling it
from button click event:
Private Function formatarray(ByV al inarray As ArrayList, _
ByVal inName As String, _
ByVal initem As String, _
ByVal initemtype As String)

Dim arrayparam As arrayliststruct

arrayparam.Name = inName
arrayparam.valu e = initem
arrayparam.type = initemtype
inarray.Add(arr ayparam)

Return inarray

End Function

I have follwoing code in button click event

Protected Sub btnSubmit_Click (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnSubmit.Click

Dim inarray As New ArrayList
inarray = formatarray(ina rray, "Email", "my*****@email. com", "String")
inarray = formatarray(ina rray, "Name", "My Name", "String")

' then I want to pass this code to web serivce that accepts arrary list
Dim postEv As New testev.wsTEST
postEv.Credenti als = Net.CredentialC ache.DefaultCre dentials
postEv.PreAuthe nticate = True
postEv.PostExtE vent("Test", "Source", inarray(2))

End Sub

I don't know how to pass arraylist to a webservice.
please help:

The function:
Private Function formatarray(ByV al inarray As ArrayList, _
ByVal inName As String, _
ByVal initem As String, _
ByVal initemtype As String)

Isn't declared as anything, presumably you want:

Private Function formatarray(ByV al inarray As ArrayList, _
ByVal inName As String, _
ByVal initem As String, _
ByVal initemtype As String) As
ArrayList

Don't know if that is a typo or if it will fix your problem. If it does not
fix the problem you might like to post the declaration for the webservice
function also.

Thanks for reply..

I changed the function and declared as
Private Function formatarray(ByV al inarray As ArrayList, _
ByVal inName As String, _
ByVal initem As String, _
ByVal initemtype As String) As ArrayList

Stil the same problem..

my web service is

Public Sub PostExtEvent(By Val EventName As String, ByVal ExternalSource As
String, ByVal inparam As ArrayList)

I found some info on:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/814320

and changed inarray(2) to inarray(0)

my web service is
Public Sub PostExtEvent(By Val EventName As String, ByVal ExternalSource As
String, ByVal inparam As ArrayList)

this is how I see it when try to call
PostExtEvent(Ev entName as string, ExternalSource as string, inparam() as
object

and I get error message as:
Unable to cast object of type 'arrayliststruc t' to type 'System.Object[]'.

You should just be calling it like:

postEv.PostExtE vent("Test", "Source", inarray)

without the brackets or index, does it still not work then?

Hi Joseph,

Thanks Again..

That only works if I move my function from webservice to local program...
I I do the same with webservice
Value of type 'System.Collect ions.ArrayList' cannot be converted to
'1-dimensional array of Object'
I donot understand why webservice is not expecting arraylist but the
OBJECT...

PostExtEvent(Ev entName as string, ExternalSource as string, inparam() as
OBJECT

event if I declared as an arraylist

Unfortunately I don't know what is causing your difficulties. Included
below is an example I have working here (excluding all the auto generated
stuff).

Note that in your example you have the arrayliststruct declared in the aspx
part of the application, you really need to declare in the webservice part.

This part is the Webservice:

Imports System.Web.Serv ices
Imports System.Xml.Seri alization

Public Class myService
Inherits System.Web.Serv ices.WebService
<WebMethod(), XmlInclude(GetT ype(arraylistst ruct))_
Public Sub PostExtEvent(By Val EventName As String, ByVal ExternalSource As
String, ByVal inparam As Object())
For Each obj As Object In inparam
Dim als As arrayliststruct = CType(obj, arrayliststruct )
Dim n As String = als.Name
Dim v As String = als.value
Dim t As String = als.type
Next
End Sub

Public Structure arrayliststruct
Public Name As String
Public value As String
Public type As String
End Structure

End Class

And this part is the web form part of the code:

Public Class WebForm1
Inherits System.Web.UI.P age

Private Function formatarray(ByV al inarray As ArrayList, _
ByVal inName As String, _
ByVal initem As String, _

ByVal initemtype As String) As ArrayList

Dim arrayparam As New myExampleServic e.arrayliststru ct
arrayparam.Name = inName
arrayparam.valu e = initem
arrayparam.type = initemtype
inarray.Add(arr ayparam)

Return inarray
End Function

Protected Sub btnSubmit_Click (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnSubmit.Click
Dim inarray As New ArrayList
inarray = formatarray(ina rray, "Email", "my*****@email. com", "String")
inarray = formatarray(ina rray, "Name", "My Name", "String")

Dim ws As New myExampleServic e.myService
ws.PostExtEvent ("Test", "Source", inarray.ToArray )
End Sub

End Class

[amazon]

Thanks Joseph,

Thant is excellent suggession and I am working on that...
However, I get follwoing error when trying to pass object to web service..

There was an error generating the XML document.
"The type System.Object[] may not be used in this context."

Thank you.
