how to return an interface from a web service

[vpulugurta]

hi
i'm creating a web site in VB.net which uses a web service to fetch data for it from third party com components.
the problem is i cannot return interfaces from web service. i cant modify the interfaces to make them serializable.
can anyone tell me how we can return interface from my web service? is there any option or any work around?
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thank you

You can't return an interface.
Web services return objects using SOAP which your program can use.
Are you having problems retrieving the objects?
What have you tried so far?

hi
like i said i'm using third party com components. they have interfaces which i have to return.
these interfaces work fine when i'm calling from the website directly. but because of security constraints i have to call them from web service.
can i typecast the interface to an object and return it? i tried but it i sgiving trouble.
or can i make the calling class serializable?i'm new to this. so i dont know how to tackle the situation.
thanks for any help
