.Net Client/Axis Server & MultiDim Arrays -- I GIVE

When wsdl.exe is generated agains the WSDL, you'll see that:

string[] rulesElements

is created as opposed to string[][] rulesElements.

Frustrating,
Cory

Does this happen as a result of running wsdl.exe on the generated WSDL file?

Any idea why a C# client, upon reading the following line from an Axis generated/published WSDL document:
---------------------------------------
<element name="rulesElements" nillable="true" type="impl:ArrayOfArrayOf_xsd_string" /> 
(java impl: String[][] rulesElements;)
---------------------------------------

generates the following C# and/or VB code
---------------------------------------
string[] rulesElements;
---------------------------------------

Obviously, when when the serialization/deserialization occurs on the client side, it totally arfs.  Anyone seen this?  Of course with a Java client (generated using wsdl2java), all works well!

  Convert it into an xml string, turn it into a byte array, send that to the .net client, and then turn that into a multi-dimensional array.

  That is what I do. <g>

  You can also just send an array of beans that has just two attributes, the key and value, and .net will work with that fine also.
