WebService proxy does not generate methods for a class, only properties.

[Alexander Kaplunov]

I have a web service, which has a reference to a class. I want to be able to
accept this class as a parameter to my web service method. When the consumer
consumes the web service, proxy class is created. This proxy has my class
but for some reason it does not generate methods, only properties.

Here is my code....

****Class*****
[Serializable]
public class Class1
{
string str;
public Class1()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
public void Test(int a)
{
}
public string IntReturn(int b)
{
return str;
}
public string PropTest
{
set { str = value; }
get { return str; }
}
}

*****WebService*****
[WebMethod]
public void Obj(ClassLibrary1.Class1 cls)
{
cls.Test(5);
}
****webservice proxy******
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespac e="http://tempuri.org/")]
public class Class1 {
/// <remarks/>
public string PropTest;
}

As you can see above, proxy generates only property and not methods. Does
any one have any idea why that is?

Thanks,
Alex.

This is by definition how Web services work. You can only pass data between
the caller and the Web service. Ideally, you should define the data that you
will pass in the Web service in XSD first, but .NET does this step behind
the scenes for you.

If you are looking for functionality in addition to your data, maybe you can
consider making Class1 another Web service.
