Question

The following code samples are from my aspx web service.

I would like to know how it should be changed so that i could return it as an object. All the following codes are on the web service and i am trying to call the object from Android.

So i would just like to know what changes i have to make in order to be able to pass the object.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[WebMethod]
public object SomeMethod(Vehicle obj)
{
    return obj;
}

[WebMethod]
public void simpleCase()
{
    Vehicle obj = new Vehicle();
    obj.VehicleID = "KL-9876";
    obj.VehicleType = "Nissan";
    obj.VehicleOwner = "Sanjiva";
}

public class Vehicle
{
    public string VehicleID { get; set; }
    public string VehicleType { get; set; }
    public string VehicleOwner { get; set; }
}

[DataContract]
public class Salesman
{

    [DataMember(Name = "a")]
    public virtual string Id { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Name = "b")]
    public virtual int RoleId { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Name = "c")]
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Name = "d")]
    public virtual string Address { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Name = "e")]
    public virtual string Phone { get; set; } 
} // "a","b","c","d"... are the values with which you'll identify the object properties - client side - when json parsing.




 [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
    [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
    public class SalesmanService 
    {

        [OperationContract]
        [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/get/{id}", 
            RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
        public Salesman Get(string id)
        {
          //return your salesman
        }
    }

Don’t forget about this in global.asax:

RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute(“salesman”, new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(SalesmanService)));

Basically you should be able to make such a call:
“..localhost/salesman/50” for example

This is just a small sample, you’ll have to put your hands on wcf and json for a wider understanding.
