Hello, I have a class defination for Location which can have multiple keywords. The keyword class has one Public property LocKeyword. For simplicity i have remove all the other properties. Public Class Loc Inherits basecore Private _keywords As List(Of LocKeyword) Public Property Keywords() As List(Of LocKeyword) Get Return _keywords End Get Set(ByVal value As List(Of LocKeyword)) _keywords = value End Set End Property End Class Public Class LocKeyword Inherits BaseCore Public Keyword As String End Class Both Location and Keyword have their definations in the webservice project under App_GlobalResources The problem: When i try to create a proxy object of type Location in an ASP.Net website with the following code: Dim oLoc As New Loc oLoc.Keywords.Add(New LocKeyword()) I get an error - the Add generic method does not come up. Is there any way i can make it? If i work on an object withen the Webservice project i dont have any problem - Ie the Code works. Any ideas? Regards Ishan

You haven't shown us your web methods. Do you ever return an instance of Loc from a web method? Only classes used as return values or parameter types in a web method will have proxy classes made for them. The following worked for me.

Hello John Thanks for the response, but it does solve my problem. I do not want to add a keyword in the webservice (HelloWorld()) - i want to add the keyword to the keyword collection in the front end ie - Your Sub Main() Something like this: Import <Webreference> Sub Main() Dim oLoc as Location oLoc.Keyword.Add(New LocKeyword With {.Keyword = "Key1"}) oLoc.Keyword.Add(New LocKeyword With {.Keyword = "Key2"}) End Sub End Module Well here is the background- i get the keyword information(and lots of other informaiton) from the webpage, so i want to assemble the location object in the webpages VB file.

Ok, so what is the problem? Assemble oLoc and then send it to the web service. I still can't see your issue. Did you determine whether any of the web methods ever return or accept an instance of these classes? -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer "Ishan Bhalla" wrote in message news:7FDD7176-73A3-48FE-9E46-B3F2F4DE7783@microsoft.com... > Hello John > > Thanks for the response, but it does solve my problem. > > I do not want to add a keyword in the webservice (HelloWorld()) - i want > to > add the keyword to the keyword collection in the front end ie - Your Sub > Main() > Something like this: > > Import <Webreference> > > Sub Main() > Dim oLoc as Location > > oLoc.Keyword.Add(New LocKeyword With {.Keyword = "Key1"}) > oLoc.Keyword.Add(New LocKeyword With {.Keyword = "Key2"}) > > End Sub > > End Module > > Well here is the background- i get the keyword information(and lots of > other > informaiton) from the webpage, so i want to assemble the location object > in > the webpages VB file. > > Regards > Ishan > > "John Saunders" wrote: > >> You haven't shown us your web methods.
