Hello,

Am new to web services.

i am exposing a web service that returns a datatable, but when i reference
the web service and call it it seems to be returning
GetCountriesResponseGetCountriesResult. Am not able to figure out what i am
doing wrong.

<WebService(Namespace:="http://www.abc.com")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
<DataObjectAttribute()> _
Public Class RankingManager
   Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

   <WebMethod()> _
   Public Function GetCountries() As DataTable

       Dim ranking As New RankingDB

       Return ranking.getCountries

   End Function

Thanks for all the help
Regards
Ishan
