Hi,

As was pointed out whatever you return from a WebMethod needs to be
serializable to SOAP. An ArrayList is not serializable. I will be
needing to return other data types from web methods. Is there a
document, or can some one list those types that are not serializable
and the syntax for converting them?

Thanks
