Hi, Bruce. Thanks for responding.

That certainly addresses my problem. If you don't mind I have three
additional questions:

1) Why would XSD.exe generate jagged arrays if the generated code can't be
compiled?
2) The article states to change the app's .config file. Is this the
web.config file of my webservice project? The reason I ask is because that's
exactly what I changed and nothing peristed.
3) The article offered no solution. Do you have any suggestions for a
solution?

Thanks again,

Mike
