Question

I wrote an asmx service on one server1 and and asp.net/c# on another server2.

I want to transfer a dictionary<string,string> from srv1 to srv2.
I read Dictionary is not serializable and should be sent as List<KeyValuePair<string,string>>.

on srv2 I try to read the result but it’s of type:

KeyValuePairOfStringString[] result = response.GetTemplatesParamsPerCtidResult;

i try to retrieve the key,value but cannot unflat each element:

 foreach (var pair in result)
   {
// pair has just 4 generic methods: toString, GetHashCode,GetType,Equals
   }

How do I do this? Is there anything I should change in my implementation?

TIA

Answer 1

How about using an array MyModel[] where MyModel looks like this:

public class MyModel
{
    public string Key { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

Generics should be avoiding when exposing SOAP web services.
