Default Value of integer member variable in webservice

[lpatnaik]

Hi,
I have developed a webservice with some functions. I have a public class(in the same webservice file but outside the webservice class) called TestDO which has a number of member variables, some of which are integer. In some functions of my webservice, I am sending this TestDO as a parameter so that the client can create an instance of this class and fill in the values for its member variables and call the respective function.
The problem lies in the fact that if the client leaves some of the integer member variables unfilled, these variables default to 0, when I want them to be Null (or a negative value that i set in the constructor of the class - I tried this in the default constructor, but it is not working).
Kindly help Asap.

What does your constructor look like? That's definitely the way to set default values. Code please.

My class is :
Public Class TestCaseDO
Public TestCaseID As Integer
Public ProjectID As Integer = 8
Public Enabled As Boolean
Public UserRoles() As String

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
ProjectID = -1
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal intValue As Integer)
MyBase.New()
ProjectID = intValue
End Sub
End Class

'Neither of these constructors are working i.e. none of these are setting projectid to -1 or the value sent.
