Very strange that is exactly what i'm doing. My Web Service code
looks like this, is yours similer?
[WebMethod]
public Contact GetContactByID(string contactId)
{
Contact c = new Contact()
// do database lookup here
c.BirthDate = (DateTime)mySqlDataReader["BirthDate"];
return c;
}
public class Contact
{
public DateTime BirthDate
{
get { return _birthDate; }
set {_birthDate = value; }
}
private DateTime _birthDate;
}
