Completely unrelated to LLBL but I know someone out there can provide some input:
We've got a Web Service layer that we are calling that returns custom objects which are defined in the web service project. It took me a little while to get used to the syntax of casting through the web service (WidgetService.CustomWidget widget = service.GetWidgets()) but everything works fine so far.
However, I now want to do a little more with my custom objects on the process side. I wanted to create a Formatter class which would have a series of overloads for my different objects to correctly build a formatted string for presentation. Since it is static calls and that class has no real need to "know" about the web service objects, I thought I would create my custom objects in an assembly that is common to both web service and process layer. Then I could reference my objects from my common namespace. Wrong! I now get a message that I can't convert from WebService.CustomWidget to Common.CustomWidget (even with casting).
Any recommendation on how to handle this? Am I stuck with having my Formatter class having a reference to my WebServices class just so it knows what the objects are?
Thanks!
