I am using the .Net tool wsdl.exe to generate a service reference for a webservice from the WSDL. One of the methods on the service takes in a Guid as a parameter. When I look at the code that is generated, the parameter is now a string.
Why does this happen?
All values to and from a web service must be primitive types, and are serialised to be such - the consumers may very well be using a variety of platforms, the specific Guid type would mean nothing to anyone not on a .NET platform.
As to whether Guid is a primitive type, see this question.
