SoapElementAttribute not serializing its name properly

[Paul Neyman]

Hello!

I have a simple call from a client to a webservice:

public string GetCurrentProgramState(
[SoapElementAttribute(ElementName="workspace-name")] string workspaceName,
{
object[] results = this.Invoke("GetCurrentProgramState", new object[] {
workspaceName});
return ((string)(results[0]));
}

WSDL.exe tool created this signature for the method, because variables
with dashes in them are not allowed (they are interpreted by compiler as
subtraction operation). However, when the soap message is serialized, I
see that workspaceName got serialized as 'workspaceName' instead of
'workspace-name'.

I tried using a constructor instead of property:

[SoapElementAttribute("workspace-name")] string workspaceName,

But that doesn't help either. Soap messages are still serialized with
the name of the variable, not the ElementName.

How can I fix this?

Thank you.
