Return IList with more data.

I'm trying to return a class that implements the IList interface and
has a few other data members as well.

// User Node class
[Serializable]
[XmlRootAttribut e("User")]
public class User
{
private string m_username = "";
private string m_userpassword = "";
private string m_userDisplayNa me = "";

public User()
{
}

public User(string pUsername, string pUserpassword, string
pUserDisplayNam e)
{
m_username = pUsername;
m_userpassword = pUserpassword;
m_userDisplayNa me = pUserDisplayNam e;
}

[XmlElementAttri bute(Type = typeof(string), IsNullable = false)]
public string UserName
{
get { return m_username; }
set { m_username = value; }
}

[XmlElementAttri bute(Type = typeof(string), IsNullable = false)]
public string UserDisplayName
{
get { return m_userDisplayNa me; }
set { m_userDisplayNa me = value; }
}

[XmlElementAttri bute(Type = typeof(string), IsNullable = false)]
public string UserPassword
{
get { return m_userpassword; }
set { m_userpassword = value; }
}
}

// UserList class
[Serializable]
[XmlRootAttribut e("UserList")]
public class UserList : ReturnSet, IList<User>
{
// IList members

[XmlArrayAttribu te("Users")]
[XmlArrayItemAtt ribute("User", typeof(User))]
public User[] Users
{
get { return (User[])m_list.ToArray (typeof(User)); }
set
{
m_list = new ArrayList(value );
}
}

private bool m_lockdownHandh eld = false;
private bool m_deleteAllData = false;

[XmlElementAttri bute("Lockdown" )]
public bool Lockdown
{
get { return m_lockdown; }
set { m_lockdown = value; }
}

[XmlElementAttri bute("DeleteAll Data")]
public bool DeleteAllData
{
get { return m_deleteAllData ; }
set { m_deleteAllData = value; }
}
}

What I expect to get back when the web service call is made is an XML
similar to the following:

<UserList xmlns...>
<Lockdown>False </Lockdown>
<DeleteAllData> False</DeleteAllData>
<Users>
<User>
<UserName>Rob </UserName>
<UserPassword>1 2345</UserPassword>
<UserDisplayNam e>Rob Smith</UserDisplayName >
<User>
<User>....</User>
</Users>
</UserList>

What I am seeing instead is the following:

<UserList xmlns...>
<User>
<UserName>Rob </UserName>
<UserPassword>1 2345</UserPassword>
<UserDisplayNam e>Rob Smith</UserDisplayName >
</User>
<User>....</User>
</UserList>

The Lockdown and DeleteAllData properties of the UserList class are
being ignored.

I'm trying to return a list of Users (Or whatever data object) and
some control data to a client application. (i.e. Lockdown = True take
some action to disable the client software) Is there anyway to
accomplish what I am trying to do here?

Thanks for your help.

Solved my own problem. Turns out by implementing IList ASP treated it
as a list only. I created a wrapper class that contained my two
properties and a List and all is working fine now.

Thanks for any consideration.

Hi Straight to the point - I don't understand why System.Array derives from IList (given the methods/properties actually on IList). When designing an interface you specify a contract. Deriving from an interface and only implementing some of it means something is wrong: either the interface specification is wrong e.g. not minimal or the derivation is wrong e.g. the type can't actually honour this contract.

I am returning an IList from a WebService Function that contains a custom Class. The class contains ID and Name properties. I can see these in the IList when the data is returned. I tried to use ArrayList.Adapter to create a wrapper around the IList so I could bind this to a combo box. No errors are thrown but I cannot see the data in the arrayList nor can I bind to the ID or Name property or retrieve this data from the IList or...

Why are there still no covariant return types? All searches reveal no workarounds accept for using an interface which is a real pain. I wind up missing this capability almost every time I inherit a class. The best workaround and one that I use is the new keyword and cast the base class reference, but in my opinion this is a bad practice leading to error prone code. Can someone from MS chime in on this and provide some feedback?

Hi there My question is regarding how to best return "collections" from a method call. Should you return an actual object or an interesting/ appropriate interface of the object, to the caller? (This is not really restricted to returning collections but that's the example I'm going to focus on) For example, let's say you have method that is going to return a "list of books".
