Question

Is it possible to create a description for parameters used in an (asmx)-webservice? I know I can set the description of the webmethod with the Description-property. However is it also possible to add an attribute to the parameter to create description in the webservice for a given parameter

[WebMethod(Description = @'Get all approved friends <br />      where rownum >= StartPage * count AND rownum < (StartPage+1) * count')] public Friend[] GetFriendsPaged(int startPage, int count){...} 

For instance in the example given above, I would like to add documentation that the StartPage is 0-based.

Thanks in advance

There is no way to do this, and no standard for what to do with the information even if you could add it. It’s true that a WSDL may contain annotations for any element, but there’s no standard about, for instance, placing those annotations into comments in the generated proxy class.
