Return IList with more data.

[RobRasti]

I'm trying to return a class that implements the IList interface and
has a few other data members as well.

// User Node class
[Serializable]
[XmlRootAttribut e("User")]
public class User
{
private string m_username = "";
private string m_userpassword = "";
private string m_userDisplayNa me = "";

public User()
{
}

public User(string pUsername, string pUserpassword, string
pUserDisplayNam e)
{
m_username = pUsername;
m_userpassword = pUserpassword;
m_userDisplayNa me = pUserDisplayNam e;
}

[XmlElementAttri bute(Type = typeof(string), IsNullable = false)]
public string UserName
{
get { return m_username; }
set { m_username = value; }
}

[XmlElementAttri bute(Type = typeof(string), IsNullable = false)]
public string UserDisplayName
{
get { return m_userDisplayNa me; }
set { m_userDisplayNa me = value; }
}

[XmlElementAttri bute(Type = typeof(string), IsNullable = false)]
public string UserPassword
{
get { return m_userpassword; }
set { m_userpassword = value; }
}
}

// UserList class
[Serializable]
[XmlRootAttribut e("UserList")]
public class UserList : ReturnSet, IList<User>
{
// IList members

[XmlArrayAttribu te("Users")]
[XmlArrayItemAtt ribute("User", typeof(User))]
public User[] Users
{
get { return (User[])m_list.ToArray (typeof(User)); }
set
{
m_list = new ArrayList(value );
}
}

private bool m_lockdownHandh eld = false;
private bool m_deleteAllData = false;

[XmlElementAttri bute("Lockdown" )]
public bool Lockdown
{
get { return m_lockdown; }
set { m_lockdown = value; }
}

[XmlElementAttri bute("DeleteAll Data")]
public bool DeleteAllData
{
get { return m_deleteAllData ; }
set { m_deleteAllData = value; }
}
}

What I expect to get back when the web service call is made is an XML
similar to the following:

<UserList xmlns...>
<Lockdown>False </Lockdown>
<DeleteAllData> False</DeleteAllData>
<Users>
<User>
<UserName>Rob </UserName>
<UserPassword>1 2345</UserPassword>
<UserDisplayNam e>Rob Smith</UserDisplayName >
<User>
<User>....</User>
</Users>
</UserList>

What I am seeing instead is the following:

<UserList xmlns...>
<User>
<UserName>Rob </UserName>
<UserPassword>1 2345</UserPassword>
<UserDisplayNam e>Rob Smith</UserDisplayName >
</User>
<User>....</User>
</UserList>

The Lockdown and DeleteAllData properties of the UserList class are
being ignored.

I'm trying to return a list of Users (Or whatever data object) and
some control data to a client application. (i.e. Lockdown = True take
some action to disable the client software) Is there anyway to
accomplish what I am trying to do here?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Return IList with more data.

Solved my own problem. Turns out by implementing IList ASP treated it
as a list only. I created a wrapper class that contained my two
properties and a List and all is working fine now.

Thanks for any consideration.
