Returning Bare Type

[R. K. Wijayaratne]

Hi everyone,

We have a web method which returns the following type:


public class methodNameResult
{
public string responseCode = null;
public string details = null;
}


Here is the web-method that returns the above:


[SoapDocumentMethod("",
Use = System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Encoded,
ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Bare)]
public methodNameResult OurWebMethod(...)
{
...
}


Here is what the actual returned XML from the above web-method looks
like:


<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
encoding/">
<types:methodNameResult id="id1">
<responseCode xsi:type="xsd:string">...</responseCode>
<details xsi:type="xsd:string">...</details>
</types:methodNameResult>
</soap:Body>


How can we ensure that the returned XML doesn't have
'<types:methodNameResult id="id1">' and '</types:methodNameResult>' in
it? We would rather specify it directly at the web-service rather than
removing / modifying the XML using a SoapFilter for example.

We are using .NET FW 2.0 and WSE 3.0.

Thank you,

RKW.

Are you trying to get just the responseCode and details returned? If that's
the case, then you shouldn't try to return a methodNameResult. Instead, try
returning the two values as "out" parameters:

[WebMethod]
public void OurWebMethod(..., out string responseCode, out string details)
{
}
