Exporting objects from a service for consumers

[Al Santino]

Hello,

I'm writing a service using VS2005 and C#. I've found that only the objects
used as parameters in WebMethods get exported to proxy dlls and the Service
Description. My service clients can use the objects I've defined in messages
to the service and send them as "object" parameters or as embeded items in
other objects.

I can workaround the problem by declaring all of the objects in a dummy
class and then putting a dummy WebMethod on the class that takes a reference
to the dummy class. If I do this I get the xml Service Description and proxy
dll generated by WSDL.EXE emit the correct information. It occurs to me,
though, that there must be some type of directive or something that lets you
tell the proxy and Service Description generator that you want certain items
included in their output.

Can anyone tell me the correct way to do this?

Thanks
Al
