  Hi,I am facing a problem in capturing and retreiving data from a webmethod response.I am calling web methods on remote server.So I have included the web reference of the webservice in my Vs2005 solution.But the main problem is the webmethods are returning custom Array datatypes.The coustom data types are the other class types.I am facing problem in accessing the returned data.I think my client side code is creating the main problem.Please find the Below code(Auto generated code).and Please help me.

  The Defination webmethod which I am calling.which is a part of a class called.

  public partial class hbcontent : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol {

  -----Many other Parametrs/methods Below one is the sample---

  [System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapRpcMethodAttribute("", RequestNamespace="http://remote.api", ResponseNamespace=http://remote.api)]

          [return: System.Xml.Serialization.SoapElementAttribute("getCountryDataReturn")]

          public Map getCountryData(string key, string language, string country) {

              object[] results = this.Invoke("getCountryData", new object[] {

                          key,

                          language,

                          country});

              return ((Map)(results[0]));

          }

  }----Definition of the other classes  :---- 

  [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "2.0.50727.2344")]

      [System.SerializableAttribute()]

      [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]

      [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]

  [System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap")]

      public partial class Map {       

          private mapItem[] itemField;       

          public mapItem[] item {

              get {

                  return this.itemField;

              }

              set {

                  this.itemField = value;

              }

          }

      [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "2.0.50727.2344")]

      [System.SerializableAttribute()]

      [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]

      [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]   [System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap")]

      public partial class mapItem {

          private object keyField;

          private object valueField;

          [System.Xml.Serialization.SoapElementAttribute(IsNullable=true)]

          public object key {

              get {

                  return this.keyField;

              }

              set {

                  this.keyField = value;

              }

          }

          [System.Xml.Serialization.SoapElementAttribute(IsNullable=true)]

          public object value {

              get {

                  return this.valueField;

              }

              set {

                  this.valueField = value;

              }

          }

      }

  WSDL file for the corresponding section:

  My client Code:

  static void Main(string[] args)

     {

  hbcontent hbc = new hbcontent();

  Map  map2 = new Map();

  map2 = (Map)hbc.getCountryData("Key12345", "en", "new-zealand");           

  }

  When run the above code nothing is returned to the map2.But the web method is returning the data,which I can see using some Http tools like Wfecth and fiddler.

  The sample data captured in fiddler is:
