Webservice: not all properties showing on client

Question

Hi there,

I have a vb.net baseclass in a dll in my c# project. I created a derived class in c#. I fill the C# class with all its properties, including the base properties from the vb class.

Now I send them through a webservice (c# ) to a jQuery client. But on the client I only see the vb properties?

Anyone has a clue?

public class FilmItem : ContentItem // ContentItem is from VB DLL
{
    public string Zender { get; set; }
    public string Jaar { get; set; }

}

    [WebMethod]
    public IEnumerable GetContentItems(VBLib.GridRequest gridRequest)
    {
        ContentCache contentCache = new ContentCache();
        return contentCache.GetFilms(gridRequest); // gives back a List<FilmItem>
    }

Just found out that if I remove the vb.net class, all the properties are showing fine from the C# class. Also found out that the vb.net is declared like this:

Public Class ContentItem
Inherits System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, Object)
Implements IContentItem

Could it be the dictionary or the interface? ( which sums up the properties I was seeing)

regards, Henk

Answer 1

What was the type you returned from the web service? The C# class?

Also, please show some code. I bet you've just created the C# properties wrong, and if you removed the base class and just sent the derived class, you'd get nothing sent.
