Question

I want to be able to send a XmlSerializer class (which is generated obvious in remote C# application) over a WebService that will then deserialize it into a class. (I didnt know it its possible either)

My class is:

SystemInfo

I’m serializing it this way:

        XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SystemInfo));
        StreamWriter myWriter = new StreamWriter(textBox1.Text);
        mySerializer.Serialize(myWriter, sysinfo);

How can i build the WebService?

    [WebMethod]
    public void Reports(XmlSerializer xmlSerializer)
    {
      .
      .
      .
    }

Can anyone help me out?

Regards

Chris, thanks for helping me out. It was a major step forward.

I solved the problem sending the xml string:

        SystemInfo sysinfo = new SystemInfo();
        sysinfo.RUN();

        XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SystemInfo));

        MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
            mySerializer.Serialize(memStream, sysinfo);
            memStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.Load(memStream);
        memStream.Close();

        localhost.WS_Agente dasdsa = new localhost.WS_Agente();
        dasdsa.Reports(doc.InnerXml);

And the WebService:

    [WebMethod]
    public void Reports(string xml)
    {
        XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SystemInfo));
        SystemInfo obj = (SystemInfo)mySerializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(xml));
    }

Its working like a charm now 🙂

My question is: Can i improve the code?

Thanks
