Hello

I am using a webservice to collect data for my windows app. All works fine when I am just returning an EntityCollection but when I try and return something like EntityCollection<MyEntityName> I get an error saying it cannot convert to a dataset.

I have the schema importer all set up and everything works with my other windows forms using webservices, but it is the first time I am trying to return a "typed" entity collection.

Is this something I should be able to do or not?

Thanks

Bannis

Generic Types should not be used in WebServices.

Note: Generics aren't supported in webservices nor are polymorphic fetches using single entity instances.

The above is quoated from the following manual' section Generated code - XML Webservices / WCF support

Thanks for answering Walaa!

I must have missed that..!

That solves a whole load of confusion!
