.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / May 2005Really basic Web Service question
Is there anyway at all, to do something like ByRef/ref parameter passing in Web Services? - Sahil Malik [MVP] http://codebetter.com/blogs/sahil.malik/ That doesn't really make sense, but oddly enough it is supported. The reason I say that it doesn't make sense is that ref is a programming concept to stack based method invocations, whereas web services are about XML message passing. It seems that if there's a element in the top level Request and Response XML documents passed back and forth to the [WebMethod] then the .NET framework will map that onto a ref parameter.

And yes it doesn't make sense - maybe it shouldn't be done !! Okay so let me clearly understand what you mean by - "It seems that if there's a element in the top level Request and Response XML documents passed back and forth to the [WebMethod] then the .NET framework will map that onto a ref parameter." Are you saying Custom XML embedded in a custom SOAPHeader will act as a Ref parameter? Can you pan your explanation out to code? - Sahil Malik [MVP] http://codebetter.com/blogs/sahil.malik/ > That doesn't really make sense, but oddly enough it is supported.

Also this is specified in the SoapSpec. I have a follow up question though. I'll post that as a seperate message. - Sahil Malik [MVP] http://codebetter.com/blogs/sahil.malik/ > Shocking !!
