Hi! I tried to pass a dictionary via WebServices. However it is not serializeable. So i wrote an Own Class that makes it serializeable:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Schema;

namespace Platform
{

    public class SaDictionary<TKey, TValue> : Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, IXmlSerializable
    {

        #region Constructors



        public SaDictionary()

            : base()
        {



        }



        public SaDictionary(IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary)

            : base(dictionary)
        {



        }



        public SaDictionary(IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer)

            : base(comparer)
        {



        }

        public SaDictionary(int capacity)

            : base(capacity)
        {



        }



        public SaDictionary(IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer)

            : base(dictionary, comparer)
        {



        }



        public SaDictionary(int capacity, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer)

            : base(capacity, comparer)
        {



        }



        //protected SaDictionary(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)

        //    : base(info, context)

        //{



        //}

        #endregion



        public XmlSchema GetSchema()
        {

            return null;

        }



        public void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)
        {

            XmlSerializer keySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TKey));

            XmlSerializer valueSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TValue));

            bool wasEmpty = reader.IsEmptyElement;

            reader.Read();



            if (wasEmpty)



                return;



            while (reader.NodeType != XmlNodeType.EndElement)
            {

                reader.ReadStartElement("item");

                reader.ReadStartElement("key");

                TKey key = (TKey)keySerializer.Deserialize(reader);

                reader.ReadEndElement(); //key



                reader.ReadStartElement("value");

                TValue value = (TValue)valueSerializer.Deserialize(reader);

                reader.ReadEndElement(); //value

                this.Add(key, value);



                reader.ReadEndElement(); //item

                //   reader.MoveToContent();

            }

            reader.ReadEndElement();



        }



        public void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)
        {

            XmlSerializer keySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TKey));



            XmlSerializer valueSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TValue));

            foreach (TKey key in this.Keys)
            {



                writer.WriteStartElement("item");



                writer.WriteStartElement("key");

                keySerializer.Serialize(writer, key);

                writer.WriteEndElement(); //key



                writer.WriteStartElement("value");

                TValue value = this[key];

                valueSerializer.Serialize(writer, value);

                writer.WriteEndElement(); //value



                writer.WriteEndElement(); //item



            }

        }
    }
}

However i get an ArrayOfXElement back. Is there a way to cast it back to a Dictionary? greets
