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.

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.

This sounds more convenient
But maybe DataSet is more easy to use in my scenario
Any advantages/disadvantages of using Dataset instead or serialized data, in

Why use a class? Structures are serializable, and don't have the overhead
associated with classes. We have numerous WebMethods that return structures,

Apparently, you are not concerned with performance. I guess only us

This sounds again as from kids from 4-years-olds, who say that cars with a
structure of a Ford are much faster than those from a class as Ferrari.
There are more kids whose daddy has a Ford, than whose has a Ferrari;
however, that says nothing about the performance.
Grown up tell why a Ford is faster than a Ferrari when they want to discuss
that, they don't type something like this above or words as "the overhead
involved", without telling what overhead.
Cor
Nikolay,
I would not know why, in my opinion holds a serialized dataset almost the
same node information as any other type when it is XML serialized. (When we
are talking about collections of course, otherwise I think that the answers
from Hans and me are the same)
