Re: WebMethod signature which takes SortedList as parameter??

Well, you can use arrays, as those do map ok into XML Schema:

[WebMethod]
void YourMethod(string[] items)
{
}

And then you'll have to do the sorting yourself. That's easy, with Array.Sort(items);

Hi Allen,

I really appreciate that you replied to my question. I am new to Web
Service
development.
I went to the link mentioned in your reply, but I am not able figure
out how
it is going to solve my problem(new to WS).
I understand that we can not specify Sorted List as parameter for
WebMethod,
so what OTHER OPTIONS DO WE HAVE, which offers the same
functionality Name-Value pair without using Sorted List(limitation
with
webmethod).
Explanation: my scenario is:

MyWebMethod(v_filterCriteria As SortedList)
{
... talk to db and execute query with WHERE clause equal to items in
v_filterCriteria.
}
The client can create a sortedlist object and add some filter criteria
and
send it to web method as
MyWebMethodClinet()
{
Dim objSortedList as sortedlist
objSortedList.add(a,1)
objSortedList.add(b,2)
MyWebMethod(objSortedList)
}
Thanks in advance.

SortedList is a .NET class and shouldn't be used as a parameter to a
Webmethod. I just posted earlier today discussing why things like
this aren't by design in Web Services. Here's the link:

So, in short, you need to design around XML and XML Schema and then
figure out how to represent it in your .NET code.

It seems like, it is not allowed to specify a parameter of type
SortedList in
WebMethod signature, Is is true?
What other option(s) do we have to pass in a named-value piar to a
web
method?
i am using vb.net for creating web service.
