Web service compatable datatypes

[kettch]

I have some methods in a web service that return an arraylist, and I keep getting compiler errors like this:

Value of type '1-dimensional array of System.Object' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.

I have found that this is because WSDL.exe changes arraylists into object arrays. Is there any way to prevent this behavior? So that I don't always have to worry about going throught the references.vb file and changes the types?

It's not really a big deal, but it would solve a minor annoyance.

Thanks

If you need to call into/out of a Java-based web service, you'll want to stay away from the .net-specific types. Try sticking with the basics -- strings, ints, arrays, etc.
