Problems with XmlInclude

[Matthias De Ridder]

Hello,

I have a Web service method who's returning an ArrayList of a custom class
Tender:

[WebMethod]
[XmlInclude(type of(Tender))]

public ArrayList GetTenders(stri ng user, string password){ // code}

The problem is that I receive an array of objects that contains arrays of
XmlNodes.

How can I get the data from the tenders back?

The Tender class looks like this:

[XmlInclude(type of(Tender)), XmlInclude(type of(Offer)),
XmlInclude(type of(Product))]
public class Tender
{
#region Private fields

[XmlElement]
private string name;
[XmlElement]
private string surname;
[XmlElement]
private string hospital;
[XmlElement]
private string tenderID;
[XmlElement]
private DateTime date;
[XmlElement]
private DateTime dateLimit;
[XmlArrayItem]
private ArrayList productList;
[XmlArrayItem]
private ArrayList offerList;

//Constructors, getters and setters
}
