web service not serializing all object properties

[Jeremy]

I've created a serializable class and put attributes around all the
properties that should be serialized. I return the class from a web
service, but my problem is that the wsdl for the web service is only
including the Values poperty, and nothing else. Also, when the object gets
serialized out, only the Values property gets serialized. I can't figure
out why.

I've included the serialized output from the webservice and the class code
below:

Webservice serialized return value:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Result xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://interiorhealth. ca/teleplan/webbroker">
<Values>
<ValuePart Name="GENDER">M ALE</ValuePart>
<ValuePart Name="RESPONSE" />
<ValuePart Name="MESSAGE" />
<ValuePart Name="TID">000</ValuePart>
<ValuePart Name="Result">S UCCESS</ValuePart>
<ValuePart Name="Filename" >e45.txt</ValuePart>
</Values>
</Result>

I'm missing everything except for the Values property. I don't understand
why they can't be read only properties, but I'll try making setters for
them.

It's a deserialization issue. When .NET deserializes an object, it
instantiates a new instance of the object. If you have read only
properties, it can't deserialize the object correctly (it can't assign
the value passed over from the client).

A simple fix would be to create a blank setter that does nothing. A bit
retarded but it'll fix your serialization issues.
