I am developing a web service based custom profile provider.

I’ve following projects :

1. Consumer (It consumes my web service).
2. Service (It has my custom profile provider & my web service).

I was trying to make a WebMethod as below:
public SettingsPropertyValueCollection GetPropertyValues(parameters….)

But I was getting an error as following:
The type System.Configuration.SettingsContext is not supported because it implements IDictionary.

Then I found your post & saw your code & you had tackled the above situation by using string[] returntype.

But I still was not able to solve my problem, because of following reasons:

1. In my Consumer I’ve used a proxy Profile Provider which acts as my provider for the application & but actually it calls from my Service the WebMethod GetPropertyValues(parameters….)[now with return type string[] after seeing your example], but at my Consumer the proxy provider has abstract method as :
public override System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyValueCollection GetPropertyValues

so, now I am unable to map it to the return the values from the WebMethod having string[] returntype.

2.Also, I am worried about, how am I going to make available, my custom profile properties without actual re-declaring them on the consumer.

Please throw some light on it, also it’ll really helpful to me, if I can see your code of how you have handle it at both ends(Client & Service).
