webservice

Hi,

In our project we are consuming WCF webservices exposed at Central location as services with basicHttpBinding.

In client desktop application we need consume those webservices. I am able to generate proxy class using WSDL.exe.

But, I need to convert data/class given by the webservice into my local class, for that now I am xmlserialzing those class/objects given by webservice and deserializing into my local classes as both classes schema matches exactly same.

Is there any better way that I can follow? or Do I need to assign each property from one class to another?

thanks nRk.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

Automatic type conversion in Java?

Is there a way to do automatic implicit type conversion in Java? For example, say I have two types, 'FooSet' and 'BarSet' which both are representations of a Set.
