RETURNING HASHTABLE FROM WEBSERVICE

[VSK]

Hi all,

The definition of Hashtable as per .NET docmentation is :
[Serializable]
public class Hashtable : IDictionary, ICollection, IEnumerable,
ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback, ICloneable

When Hashtable implements Serializable interface why am getting this
exception when i try to use Hashtable in webservice.
Error message is : "System.NotSupportedException: The type
System.Collections.Hashtable is not supported because it implements
IDictionary"

Is the above message saying that Hashtable cannot be serailized or something
else.

Please throw some light on the issue.

Thanks
VSK
