I added a reference (.NET library) to my BizTalk project, say "Common" and I
 have used one of the .NET classes(objects) to be an incoming message type, 
say "Common.MyClass". 

I have now published an orchestration as a webservice. 
Thus the webmethod would be method1(Common.MyClass obj)


I then added the webservice as a web reference ("webref") to my client appli
cation. One of the other references is the same "Common". 

When I try to pass the object of type Common.MyClass to my webmethod, I get 
a compiler error saying that the method signature is method1(webref.Common.M
yClass obj)

What do I do???

quite simple. but tricky.

When you add a web reference to your client application, the generated file 
Reference.cs which is a client side proxy of your server object (web service
), the namespace is added the same as your local namespace of that client pr
oject.

To avoid this, create the client side proxy class using the wsdl.exe tool an
d add it to your client project. This way it does not create a namespace in 
the generated class.

How do you create a message type of type long integer. The only ones I see i
n the properties are System.String and System.DateTime, apart from other ref
erenced standard .NET class in which I cannot find System.Long

Is it ever possible to create a message type of type System.Long?

Also, can I send back an array of .NET objects[] ??

I guess my questions are so dumb that no one replies. I reply to my own post
ings after I spend a long time figuring out things myself.

Anyway, I still haven't found a way to send back a long integer from an orch
estration. I am also wondering how to send back a boolean.

Let me know. Thanks.
