Web Service XML Tag Rename
-
Hi all, I am developing a couple of web services for work. Most of the methods return custom classes but I want one of them to just return a 'string' (either "OK" or "NOTOK"). The problem is that, whilst with custom classes the webservice's XML's tags are named according to the variable name (for example: 5 ... where HotelSummary is a type but HotelID is the variable name), with strings the XML returned is OK. Is it possible to rename the tags to display, for example, OK instead of the datatype? Thanks a lot.

Why not use
boolthen? ReturnTrue/falseil_manti wrote:

I don't think you can rename it. I am not sure though.

First, unless you are planning on expanding your status messages later, I would suggest using a boolean. Second, sounds like you might be able to use an enumeration for this:
public enum Status
{
OK,
NOTOK
}Then you would be able to say Status.OK or Status.NOTOK Hope this helps, Chris

Hi Chris, Yes thanks a lot. The enum was exactly what we needed, especially since we are able to expand the responses whenever needed now.
