Unable to generate wsdl file with methods having type generic collection Datatype.?

Question

I have a web service which has a method with parameter of type Collection( of Byte). When i try to generate the proxy using the wsdl command but the datatype gets converted to single dimensional Array of Bytes.

So i thought of creating the wsdl file which will have the type as Collection(of byte) using Add as Service Reference, but even though i specify collection type as Collection.objectModel still the parameter has the datatype as single dimensional Array of Bytes.

Is there any way to do this, or manual do i need to change in the proxy file.?

You need to specify the collection type:

svcutil /t:code /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1
