Passing an array of images to a Web Service. Can this be done?

[BillGatesFan]

We need to send images to a machine so they can be processed and
adding to our web server. Can a asp.net accept an arry of images(maybe
an array of byte arrays)?

Any help is appreciated.

You cannot pass a jagged array (or array of arrays as in byte[][]) to a web
service but you can pass a multi-dimensional array (as in byte[x,y]).

Try passing something like this:

public class Image

{

public string Title;

public byte[] ImageData;

}

public class ImageList

{

public string ListTitle;

public Image[] Images;

}

That is a good point, John, but passing the Image class or the ImageList
class you defined has its own set of problems.

For the OP: You can get good examples of multitudes of ways to pass custom
objects like John talks about on my blog at

Dale, could you please elaborate on some of those problems? I don't know of
any that matter.

No, I didn't.

I have done so now, and still don't see any problems with passing the
classes I defined. I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on why there
are any problems passing those particular classes.
