• Pouyan Supplying a default value of a parameter for a class that can't be instantiated directly.

  I'm calling a webservice method that requires an XmlElement as a parameter. For example: public void MyMethod(XmlElement MyXmlElement); XmlElement objects can't be instantiated directly. In code this is no problem as I can grab the XmlElement from my XmlDocument, however I don't see a way to do this using the BDC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. COmplex Paramenter types would be possible but you have to be crafty in your XML for the BDC... I played with it a bit and got some to work but never quite as good as I would like.
