Overload methods error in web services

Question

Hi Experts,
We want to invoke a DotNet web service. The dotnet web service contains overload methods. When I try to invoke this web service from WSNavigator, it shows "WSDL Operation with name search is overloaded (defined twice). Operation overloading is not supported by proxy generator" error. How to solve this issue?
Best Regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
TO use overloaded methods u have to specify Message Name property.Find the example.
Here method say() is overloaded
[webMethod]
public string say()
    return "hello";
[web Method]
public string say(string p_Name)
    return "Hello " + p_Name + "!";
Adding the Message name property.
[WebMethod]public string say()
    return "hello";
[WebMethod (MessageName="WithOneString")]
public string say(string p_Name)
    return "Hello" + p_Name + "!";
Regards,
Sri.
