Hello,

I'm writing a service using VS2005 and C#. I've found that only the
objects
used as parameters in WebMethods get exported to proxy dlls and the
Service
Description. I'd like my service clients to be able to use the objects
I've
defined in messages to the service and send them as "object" parameters or
as
embeded items in other objects.

I can work around the problem by declaring all of the objects as public
members of a dummy class and then putting a dummy WebMethod on my service
class that takes a reference to the dummy class. If I do this the xml
Service
Description contains all of the type information and WSDL.EXE emits the
correct information into the proxy dll. It occurs to me, though, that
there
must be some type of directive or something that lets you tell the proxy
and
Service Description generator that you want certain items included in
their
output.

Can anyone tell me the correct way to do this?

I don't understand. You have defined some classes which are not used as
parameters to or return types from your web service. Yet you want the
clients of your web service to be able to use them? What will they be using
them _for_?
