New Message on dotNET User Group Hyd VJs Tip Of The Day Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 74 in Discussion From: VishalRJoshi XmlDocument on WebService This is just an observation which you can make... If there is a web method in your webservice which takes or returns a parameter of type System.Xml.XmlDocument then it gets converted into System.Xml.XmlNode on the client side (if you are using .Net on both the ends and adding web reference via wsdl.exe)... ie if your service web method definition looks like below... _ Public Function GetXmlDoc(ByVal Id As Integer, _ ByVal doc As XmlDocument) As XmlDocument End Function The proxy definition of the same method will look like below... Public Function GetXmlDoc(ByVal Id As Integer, ByVal doc As System.Xml.XmlNode) As System.Xml.XmlNode Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("GetXmlNode", New Object() {Id, doc}) Return CType(results(0),System.Xml.XmlNode) End Function It is an understood behavior that for WSDL you are always receiving a XmlNode if it is a document for you then you are suppose to implicitly convert the same into a XmlDocument... I do wish that there was a special indication in WSDL which could inform the proxy generator whether a node is expected or a document is, but that is more to do with the WSDL file format right!!...

If you were 'requested' to work over this weekend even if you had to do something for yourself at that time, then better start taking lessons on 'being affirmative'... :-) If you have not seen the movie "Office Space" then make sure you grab it from somewhere and watch it next weekend... To an extent it helped me laugh at my own doomed situation... :-) PPS: Kathleen has added some points to partial keyword discussion of yesterday... Info is updated on the blog...
