minOccurs from VB code - attribute?

[Lucvdv]

[I already asked this in the .framework.webs ervices group last week, but
got no answer]


In a VB.Net webservice, after adding a data class, members of type String
get a "minOccurs= 0" attribute in the generated WSDL.

Is there an attribute you can apply to the definition, or some other way to
turn this into "minOccurs= 1"?


For example, in this class:

<WebService(Nam espace:=...)> _
public class MyWebService
Inherits System.Web.Serv ices.WebService

<WebMethod()> Public Sub TestFunc(byval t as TestData)
....
End Sub

public class TestData
Public Name as string
....
end class

end class

the "Name" member of TestData comes out in WSDL as

<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Name" type="s:string" />


I'd like to get minOccurs="1" instead, so clients understand that the value
isn't optional.

I tried using the IsNullable attribute through
System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute and
System.Xml.Seri alization.SoapE lement, but it makes no difference.
