.NET 2 System.Nullable always returns null

["Moss, Andy" <am...@Informatica.com>]

We are using Axis 1.1 with a C# .NET 2 client. A snippet of the WSDL and
a snippet of the generated C# proxy class is given at the end of this
mail.

In the WSDL the element 'type' is declared as nillable="true", which in
the C# proxy class is translated to the following:

[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapElementAttribute(IsNullable=true)]
public System.Nullable<IASReportType> type {
       get {
      	return this.typeField;
       }
      set {
      	this.typeField = value;
       }
}

When we call our C# .NET 2 client, we expect the value 'ON_DEMAND' to be
returned for the typeField but null is returned.

Removing the System.Nullable syntax so that the method signature reads
public IASReportType type solves the problem i.e. 'ON_DEMAND' is
returned as the value

Does anyone have any explanation and/or a solution for this problem? 

Thank you.
