从CompactFramework Client消耗WebService

Question

I'm trying to call a webservice method like this:

myService.Register("mystring");

The webmethod definition is just:

[WebMethod]
public void Register(string s)
{
}

But I receive the following System.InvalidOperationException:

"The type System.String was not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify types that are not known statically."

Google isn't turning up anything useful and I'm at a dead-end so suggestions would be welcome. My only thought so far is that it's some kind of mismatch because CF uses a different version of the System.dll to the webservice project.

Answer 1

This was caused by the fact I was using a subclass of the web reference, and also using an interface, ie:

public class MyWebServiceReference : RawWebServiceReference, IService {}

The interface was in a separate project to the RawWebServiceReference and MyWebServiceReference, and some aspect of this was causing the error.
