Using a schema, I created classes for my web service using the XSD.exe tool.
With the classes I then wrote a web service function, but the WSDL that is
generated has different minOccurs and maxOccurs values for my elements. I
can seem to figure out why this has changed or how to correct it. I can't
find any way to manually modify the classes for minOccurs or maxOccurs
either. It can happen whether I explicitly set the minOccurs/maxOccurs values
in the original schema or leave them as defaults. Any insight? Code samples
below. Thanks.
