[Mono-devel-list] web services, custom types, and XmlInclude

[Kris Bradley]

I’d like to have a web service method that returns an array of custom types. 
  I wrote a simple test that works under MS .NET, but not under Mono.  For 
example:

	[WebMethod]
	[XmlInclude(typeof(ComplexThing))]
	public ArrayList foo()
	{
		ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
		list.Add(new ComplexThing("abc", 1.1f));
		list.Add(new ComplexThing("xyz", 2.0f));
		return list;
	}

The code for ComplexThing is:

	public class ComplexThing
	{
		public ComplexThing() {}

		public ComplexThing(string name, float val)
		{
			this.name = name;
			this.val = val;
		}
		public string name;
		public float val;
	}

When I run this under Mono, I get the error:

	Invalid type: TestService.ComplexThing

Is this not supported?  Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
- Kris
