web service client i/o class generation

[Brendan C]

Hi,

I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and am adding a web reference to a
web service. One of the fields in a web service method output classes
is defined as:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArray("Sensitivities"),
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItem(typeof(Sensitivity))]
public System.Collections.ArrayList sensitivity;


However when I add a web reference from the client, the field in the
generated class gets defined as:

public Sensitivity[] Sensitivities;

- ie. it gets generated as an Array, and not as an ArrayList.

How do I specify to generate the client class field as an ArrayList
and not an Array?

thanks,
Brendan

Hello Brendan,
You cannot... ArrayList is not XmlSerializable

WIthout creating a custom proxy that uses the same type information markup
on the server (and creating implementations that are serializable) you
cannot. The client side proxy is giving you enough to fulfil the wire
contract - the array of repeating sensitivity elements .
