Hi,
I have a webservice that I am using and I would like it to return an XML
serialized version of an object.
the class of the object is defined serializable as the following:
[Serializable]
public class Event
{
}
Also it contains 5 properties returning simple data type such as int and
string. But one of them is an Hashtable. When I run my project i got a run
time exception telling me that :
System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting type
'Bos.BizObj.Event'. ---> System.NotSupportedException: The type
System.Collections.Hashtable is not supported because it implements
IDictionary.
at System.Xml.Serialization.TypeScope.GetCollectionEl ementType(Type type)
Then my question is:
How can I make the Hashtable serializable to make in turn my Event class
serializable?
Also I am a little bit surprised as in the .Net framework reference it is
specified that the
Hashtable class implement the serializable interface... Then it is
puzzling me even more
Thanks a lot,
Francois
