    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to send an object of a custom class through my asmx webservice running on .net 4.0, but all i get is an empty response. See below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;soap:Body&gt; &lt;ActivateResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"&gt; &lt;ActivateResult /&gt; &lt;!-- why is this empty --&gt; &lt;/ActivateResponse&gt; &lt;/soap:Body&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, if i modify my method and change the return type for example from class <em>A</em> to <em>B</em>, then it returns all the properties of object <em>B</em> correctly. See below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ActivateResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"&gt; &lt;ActivateResult&gt; &lt;BtAddress&gt;string&lt;/BtAddress&gt; &lt;Name&gt;string&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Number&gt;string&lt;/Number&gt; &lt;/ActivateResult&gt; &lt;/ActivateResponse&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm wondering why its happening? I could blame to improper <strong>Serialization</strong> of class <em>A</em> but there's nothing fancy I'm involving in my class files. Both class files are almost similar in terms of contents and does not contain any Serialize attribute.</p> <p>So, why does the webservice return one type, but not the other?</p> <hr> <p><strong>Class A</strong>:</p> <pre><code>public class A { private string code; private bool isValid; private int maxUniqueActivations; private DateTime dateAdded; private Customer customer = null; private bool _initAsEmpty = false; public License() { _initAsEmpty = true; } public string LicenseCode { get { return code; } //set { code = String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value)? null : value.Trim(); } } //If i change return type to Customer, it works too //so i dont think it should be blamed public Customer Customer { get { return customer; } } public bool IsValid { get { return isValid; } } public int MaxUniqueActivations { get { return maxUniqueActivations; } } public DateTime DateAdded { get { return dateAdded; } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Class B</strong>:</p> <pre><code>public class Phone { private string btAddress, name, number; private bool isValid; private DateTime dateAdded; private bool _initAsEmtpy = false; public Phone() { _initAsEmtpy = true; } public string BtAddress { get { return btAddress; } set { btAddress = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) ? null : value.Replace(":", "").Trim(); } } public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) ? null : value.Trim(); } } public string Number { get { return number; } set { number = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) ? null : value.Trim(); } } public bool IsValid { get { return isValid; } } public DateTime DateAdded { get { return dateAdded; } } } </code></pre> <p><em>some methods are suppressed</em></p>
