\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang2052\f0\fs20 Hi Martin,
\par
\par As Martin Kulov mentioned, generally enum types are represented by xsd enumeration simple type like below:
\par
\par <s:simpleType name="TestEnum">
\par - <s:restriction base="s:string">
\par <s:enumeration value="A" />
\par <s:enumeration value="B" />
\par </s:restriction>
\par </s:simpleType>
\par
\par so it can not hold two value pairs(or the mapping info). For your scenario,I think you can consider use the XmlEnumAttribute to
\par specify the enum's actual number value as the underlying xmlserialization value. e.g:
\par
\par =================
\par Public Enum TestEnum As Integer
\par
\par <XmlEnum("128")> _
\par Enum1 = 128
\par
\par <XmlEnum("256")> _
\par Enum2 = 256
\par
\par End Enum
\par ====================
\par
\par thus, the "Enum1" will be transfered as "128", "Enum2" will be transfered as "256" in SOAP message, and when arrive the other side, it will be deserizlied to the .net enum value.
\par
\par Hope this helps.
