"Generate web references" has problems with accessors - solution?

[mrvernon]

Say an ASP.NET service has a class with accessors with corresponding
private data, for instance:

class Foo
{
private int bar;
public int Bar
{
get { return bar; }
set { value = bar; }
}
}

One of the WebMethods in the service class takes an instance of Foo as
a parameter.

The client adds a web reference to the service; the reference file has
a definition of class Foo, but it has been modified:

class Foo
{
public int Bar;
}

Not only are there no accessors, but an accessor has been converted
into a variable name!

If the private bar variable in the original Foo declaration is made
public, then the Web Reference-generated Foo class will have:

class Foo
{
public int bar;
public int Bar;
}

Of course, an easy solution is to just overwrite the declaration of Foo
in the generated reference file with the original. But is there a
better way?

Thanks.
