Hi, its me again.
I wanted to ask on <u>How to use (pass and return) array in function?</u>
I have this code on my Webservice project

WebMethod() _
      Public Function InsertProduk(ByVal key As Array, ByVal val As String, ByVal konter As Integer) As DataSet
        Dim conn As String
        Dim i As Integer = konter
        For a As Integer = 0 To i
            conn = &quot;server=localhost;uid=root;pwd=;database=miles&quot;
            Dim sql As String = &quot;insert into trade set id_pro="' + key(i) + '";
            Dim konek As New MySqlConnection(conn)
            Dim OdbcDa As New MySqlDataAdapter(Sql, conn)
            konek.Open()
            Dim ds As New DataSet
            OdbcDa.Fill(ds)
            konek.Close()
            Return ds
        Next
    End Function

This is what I imports in my webservice

Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports System.Data
Imports MySql.Data
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Imports MySql.Web
Imports MySql.Web.SessionState

But when I tr=ied to browse it, system throws me this error :
You must implement a default accessor on System.Array because it inherits from ICollection.

SA asked, "which line you are getting the error?"

Your error is to do with the type of object that you are passing to your webservice. VB.NET is rather particular in what you can pass to it. I would have a look at this article

You must implement a default accessor on System.Array b...[^]

It would appear that you need to change the array to a generic list, there is an example of this in the article. Also to return a true dataset you will need to change

VB

Return ds

to, as the above will return a Diffgram[^]

VB

return ctype(ds, dataset)
