Hi,
I am stuck to import the application definition file for web service.
Do anyone have the such application definition file for webservice? I just want to get the array of string or objects from web-method.
any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Masood.
Hi,
In case you haven't done already : have a look into the Sharepoint 2007 SDK. Two examples there.

How do you get into the Sharepoint SDK? It's installed as I can see it in my add/remove programs but can't find it on the start menu?
Thanks

I thanks to him.

That was a great example 
but how about using a simple array list, how would one go about doing that?
Hi,
can't tell you exactly but there is a past around where a Dataset is used as return type. It is somewhat identical to what you need cause a Dataset and a Arraylist are both untyped. Have a go with that - maybe it puts you into the right direction...
