Re: web service not serializing all object properties

I've created a serializable class and put attributes around all the
properties that should be serialized. I return the class from a web
service, but my problem is that the wsdl for the web service is only
including the Values poperty, and nothing else. Also, when the object
gets serialized out, only the Values property gets serialized. I
can't figure out why.

Web services will only serialize public properties. Also in most cases,
readonly properties will not work correctly either. Which properties are
missing?


I've included the serialized output from the webservice and the class
code below:

Webservice serialized return value:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Result xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns="http://interiorhealth.ca/teleplan/webbroker";>
<Values>
<ValuePart Name="GENDER">MALE</ValuePart>
<ValuePart Name="RESPONSE" />
<ValuePart Name="MESSAGE" />
<ValuePart Name="TID">000</ValuePart>
<ValuePart Name="Result">SUCCESS</ValuePart>
<ValuePart Name="Filename">e45.txt</ValuePart>
</Values>
</Result>
