WebService SoapInclude, custom classes?

[methodincharge]

Yeah so I created a nice little Web Service that returned a custom class called Site which has 3 strings and an int. I kept getting:

System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error generating the XML document. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The type PortalService.Site was not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify types that are not known statically.
at System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializationWriter.WriteTypedPrimitive(String name, String ns, Object o, Boolean xsiType)

And I used both XmlInclude and SoapInclude to no avail. So I said screw it and created a string with a delimiter that I could parse when it returned to the client. Perfect. Except now when I call the WebService, the webpage's graphics don't load completely and at random. I suppose this perhaps attributed to the fact that I just did <% Function() %> since the basic Repeater did not suite my needs. Any suggestions?
