Android: Ksoap 2 passing parameter array as parameters

Question

Is it possible for Android KSoap2 to pass values to webservice methods with Paramater Arrays? If yes, how?

For VB:
Public Function calcSum(ByVal ParamArray args() As Double) As Double For C#
public static Double calcSum(params int[] args)

Should it work with normal passing of parameters like this?

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE + "/", methodCalcSumService);
request.addProperty("args", intArg1);
request.addProperty("args", intArg1); //2nd parameter, will this be overriden?
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
androidHttpTransport.call(soapCalcSumService, envelope);
Object result = envelope.getResponse(); //Get XML Result

Thank you :)

I need to send String[] to a VB Web Service method

<WebMethod()> _
Public Function SendByteArrayString(ByVal ImageNo As String, ByVal Name As String, ByVal ParamArray ArrImage() As String) As Boolean

And this code worked for me. Hope this helps!
