Question

How would I expose a constant over the webservice?

The constant is below.

    public DateTime NullDate = DateTime.Parse("01/01/2000 00:00");

Please note, I dont want the use of nullables – exposing this is the only viable option.

Am I missing something?

    [WebService(Namespace = "http://www.mynamespace.com")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]        
    public class ConstantService : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        public const DateTime NullDate = DateTime.Parse("01/01/2000 00:00");


        [WebMethod]
        public DateTime getNullDate()
        {                
            return NullDate;
        }
    }
