When I attempt to expose a Web service method to populate a collection, .NET
turns the collection into an array when I reference the Web service. This
will not work for me without some big code changes. Any ideas how I can get
the collection to pass normally? I get a "can not be reflected" error when I
try to change the Reference.vb code back into object collections. When I
serialize the data myself it works fine. I can pass the objects back and
forth without problem.
Web serivice code:
<WebMethod(Description:="Retrieves Collection From Server",
EnableSession:=True)_
Public Function GetColl(ByRef Coll As Mycollection) As Long
Dim Server As Server.SQL = MyClass.Server
Return Server.GetCollection(Coll)
End Function
Auto-generated code from client consuming Web service:
<System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodA ttribute("removed",
RequestNamespace:="removed", ResponseNamespace:="removed",
Use:=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUs e.Literal,
ParameterStyle:=System.Web.Services.Protocols.Soap ParameterStyle.Wrapped)_
Public Function GetColl(ByRef Colls() As MyCollection) As Long
Dim results As Object = Me.Invoke("GetColls", New Object()
{Mycollection})
Mycollection = CType(results(1), Mycollection())
Return CType(results(0),Long)
End Function
