.NET just doesn't understand the return type, it probably could if you
wrote some sort of QueryBean handler but I'd try returning a more simple
data type, maybe you could encode the query into an xml packet and
return that? Or try and array?

Subject: Consuming CFC web methods in VB.NET

This is my last stab at this problem. No other message boards have been
able to help me.

First, the code...

getPlaylist.cfc
--------------------------------------------
<cffunction access="remote" name="getNewPlaylist" output="no"
returntype="query">
<cfargument name="clientID" type="string" required="yes">

<cfquery ....... name="IMPlaylist">
... removed for space saving...
</cfquery>

<cfif IMPlaylist.recordCount gt 0>
<cfoutput query="IMPlaylist">
<cfquery datasource="clp_dyn_signs" dbtype="odbc" username="..."
password="...">
                   .. Removed for space saving
</cfquery>
</cfoutput>
<cfreturn IMPlaylist>
</cfif>

</cffunction>
--------------------------------------------

frmMain.vb
--------------------------------------------
Dim MyService As getPlaylist.getPlaylistService = New
getPlaylist.getPlaylistService
Dim MyResult As getPlaylist.QueryBean

Try
   MyResult = MyService.getNewPlaylist(xmlParser.ClientID)
Catch ex As Exception
   Me.txtHistory.Text += "Error calling playListExists function (" &
ex.Message & ")" + vbCrLf
   Log.AppendLog("Error calling playListExists function (" & ex.Message
& ")")
End Try
--------------------------------------------

Now the getPlaylist.cfc works fine from the Flash Remoting application
that was built for this client, but when trying to get the query into
VB.NET, the following error is returned
--------------------------------------------
org.apache.axis.AxisFault : ; nested exception is:
coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException:
[coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod$InvalidReturnTypeException : The value
returned from function getNewPlaylist() is not of type query.][]; nested
exception is:
coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException: [org.apache.axis.AxisFault :
; nested exception is:
coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException:
[coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod$InvalidReturnTypeException : The value
returned from function getNewPlaylist() is not of type query.][])
--------------------------------------------

It does return a query (or QueryBean as XML sees it) and everything is
types correctly in the .NET code.  I also put in a test function that
just returned some dummy text to see if I was able to properly invoke
functions of a CFC web method and it worked fine.  Just seems to be
choking on sending back a query.

I know this is a convoluted question, so if anyone has had experience
using CFC methods in .NET, I'd appreciate any help.
