I can't access some classes, but can access others in the same namespace, why?

[ThunderMusic]

Hi,
I have many classes a user may need to call methods on my webservice. Some
classes are "published" and some are not... I mean, when we do a Web
reference from another project, we don't have access to some classes
remotely... Is there something special these classes need so we can use
them remotely?

There's an example at the end of the post

Here, Result is accessible, but ContactData is not... and there are others
that are not accessible that are not IXmlSerializabl e, so it's not problem
(at least, I don't think so)

Anyone have an idea of what it could be? (btw, everything compiles, all
types exist in the same namespace)

And another question... I have exactly the same problem with some enum...
what are the specs about this? is there a link I could find the info?

Thanks

here's an example :
// This is the web service itself
[WebService(Name space = "http://myserv.com/S/NS")]
[WebServiceBindi ng(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.Bas icProfile1_1)]
public class Contacts : System.Web.Serv ices.WebService
{
#region Web Service Methods

[WebMethod(Descr iption = "Create a Contact.")]
public Result Create(RemoteID ID, ProjectID Project, ContactData Contact)
{
return new Result(true, false);
}
}

in another file, I have all this (all in the same namespace, and in the same
file) :
[WebService(Name space = "http://myserv.com/S/NS")]
public class Result
{
private bool m_Success = true;
private bool m_Authenticatio nError = false;
private ErrorCodes m_ErrorCode = ErrorCodes.NoEr ror;
private int m_AffectedRows = 0;

public bool Success { get { return m_Success; } set { m_Success =
value; } }
public bool AuthenticationE rror { get { return m_Authenticatio nError; } set
{ m_Authenticatio nError = value; } }
public ErrorCodes ErrorCode { get { return m_ErrorCode; } set { m_ErrorCode
= value; } }
public int AffectedRows { get { return m_AffectedRows; } set {
m_AffectedRows = value; } }
}

[WebService(Name space = "http://myserv.com/S/NS")]
public class ContactData : IXmlSerializabl e
{
private List<ContactDat aItemm_ContactD ataItems = new
List<ContactDat aItem>();
[XmlIgnore()]
public List<ContactDat aItemContactDat aItems { get { return
m_ContactDataIt ems; } }

#region IXmlSerializabl e Members
[...] // my IXmlSerializabl e implementation
#endregion
}

ok, we f ound out for the enum that if they are not used (or used by a class
we can't see), we don't have access to it (the enum)

So now we must know how to make those classes accessible... So, are
Generics supported? if they are not, is there a workaround? Are there any
other consideration to take care?

thanks
