It seems a little bit hackish, but that might actually work ;). It's almost like a proxy server at that point. I found a pretty cool thread on dotnet247.com after finding the highly undocumented "PageParser" class. This approach might actually work for me: PageParser idea I'm going to try that approach later and see what happens. I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. -David St. Hubbins

I know that the web services don't do any sort of validation, and that I'll have to create a handler to do the validation in any event. I just want WSDL that makes sense and is tight as possible, but I'm starting to think that getting it as tight as I would like will be impossible (I'm a big fan of very explicit "contracts"). Implementing IXmlSerializable made the proxy generator (IDE and WSDL.exe) fail to generate anything for data types I tried to define myself. That means we'd have to give them assemblies for those classes or they'd have to write their own class. So I think going the attributes route is definitely the way to go again, and I'll just have to not expect too much from the WSDL :). I actually didn't even notice the IXmlSerializable interface was not supposed to be used. I saw the suggestion in a post (and if I remember correctly it was from a MS VIP or a MS employee). You're right though, it shouldn't really be used. I missed that IsNullable property. A co-worker claims to have used that and still gets a "minOccurs=0", but I'll check that out in any case. Thanks for the help! I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down.

No, Brocosoft.com will ;P Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

When I can't resolve the main site, I switch to one of the aliases Chris has registered. If that doesn't work, I can often resolve one of the servers by name. Some days, though, nothing works, and I get some work reading done. "Your village called - They're missing their idiot."

That was a bad suggestion on my part (at least I thought it would work based on this code snippet). I guess the address that va_start() sets list to is not the same as the stack address that wsprintf() is popping arguments from. Five birds are sitting on a fence. Three of them decide to fly off. How many are left?
