Hi everyone.

I have Wcf service lib which is hosted in a windows service and there is a method name "MyMethod" that the output type is my custom class named "my_struct" and it is inherited from List<t>.
when I want to consume this service in another application the wsdl shows the output of this method "MyMethod" is List<t> which must be "my_struct". What Should I do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advanced.

If you would show your WSDL, maybe we could help...
But in principle WSDL types != C#-types, Visual Studio maps them. Structs in C# are represented as Sequences in XSD-Schema (WSDL types).

Your my_struct must be described as a DataContract. Once you define all your DataMembers on it you could use it in your ServiceContract as any other integral type. VS will create serializer and all the mappings for you.
