Ineroperability of Webservice arguments.

[Kevin Burton]

I have a web service that takes and returns a byte []. As
long as I have a .NET client this seems to work OK. I was
wondering if I would be better off from an interop
standpoint to change the argument and return to a base64
encoded string?

Any ideas?

Hi Kevin,

internally the bytes get converted to Base64 in .NET during transmission.
For interoperablity purposes its better to use Base64 encoding. I have
worked with web serives returning images, and i use the same base64 strings
as parameters.
