Passing arrays of objects to and from webservices...

[msteggo]

I am using .NET 2003 and the c# standalone language to develop a pocket PC application and I make calls to a middleware server through webservices made from the same language. My question is simple...How do I pass arrays of Objects to and from the webservice?

Doing this (IMO) falls into the category of "Yes you can, but you probably shouldn't". If I were to need to pass an array of objects to a webservice, I would serialize my array into an XML representation first. Because it's a string (aka simple datatype), any webservice should be able to handle it.

You can pass only array of the primitive types and not other Object type. As chiph said , in this case you have serialize the array into a XML representation.
