Hi Pedro,

Instead of returning a struct, you will need to create a class that defines
your data type and return the typed instance.

I am new to .NET and I was trying to build a C++ web service returning 2
char
strings and 2 doubles. So, I am using a struct containing those 4 variables
and trying to return that struct (BT_STRUCT):

BT_STRUCT __gc* BAWSClass::Call_Bt( String* st_receb )
{
    BT_STRUCT btrs;
              .
              .
    return btrs;
}

When testing that web service (localhost), it returns the following
InvalidOperationException: BT_STRUCT* is inaccessible due to its protection
level. Only public types can be processed.
I've been trying for some time now to solve this but without  success.
Certainly, someone in this discussion group can help me or direct me to
info
where to find the solution.
Thanks for your help.
Pedro
