Passing interface as parameter in web service???

[Kevin Yu]

hi all

is there a way to pass an interface as input parameter for a web method?
since interface is not serializable, does that mean it's impossible to do
that?

In the sense that WSDL defines an interface, and that a web method can
be designed to use that interface on the fly ( I know because I've built
such a thing )...yes.

This code will generate the web services interface from a WSDL
dynamically. This code requires the ThinkTecture 1.5 libraries (
available free at thinktecture.co m ).


public static void WInvoke(
string WDSL,
string TypeName,
string Method,
ArrayList MethodParameter s

)
{
string result = string.Empty;
DynamicWebServi ceProxy ws = new DynamicWebServi ceProxy();


ws.Wsdl = WDSL;
//"http://localhost/EHLO/Service1.asmx?W SDL";
ws.TypeName = TypeName;
ws.MethodName = Method;

Type[] types = ws.ProxyAssembl y.GetTypes();
int mko = 0;

MethodInfo[] mi = types[0].GetMethods(Bin dingFlags.Publi c |
BindingFlags.In stance |
BindingFlags.De claredOnly);

ParameterInfo[] pt = null;

foreach ( MethodInfo m in mi)
if(m.Name.Equal s(Method))
pt = m.GetParameters ();

foreach(object o in MethodParameter s){
object mo;

if (!pt[mko++].ParameterType. ToString().Equa ls("System.Int3 2"))
mo = ((methodParams) o).paramvalue.T oString();
else
mo = Convert.ToInt32 (((methodParams )o).paramvalue. ToString());

//Debug.WriteLine (types[tko++].ToString());
ws.AddParameter (mo);
}

// get all types of the dynamic assembly
//Type[] types = ws.ProxyAssembl y.GetTypes();
// get a certain type by name - watch out for fully qualified name
//Type t = ws.ProxyAssembl y.GetType(ns + "Order");
//...

//Then create an instance of the type by using reflection.

//object result = Activator.Creat eInstance(t);

try
{

ws.InvokeCall() ;

}
catch ( Exception e)
{
Debug.WriteLine (e.ToString());
}
finally
{
//Debug.WriteLine (result);
}
}



public static void WInvoke(
string WDSL,

string Method,

)
{
string result = string.Empty;
DynamicWebServi ceProxy ws = new DynamicWebServi ceProxy();


ws.Wsdl = WDSL;
//"http://localhost/EHLO/Service1.asmx?W SDL";
ws.TypeName = TypeName;
ws.MethodName = Method;

Type[] types = ws.ProxyAssembl y.GetTypes();
int mko = 0;
