  You could see the XmlArrayItemAttribute element, it deals with collection.
  Many sample on google

  Okay theres a lot
  
  Here is the base class for the collection
  
  

  [Serializable]

  public class OrderDescriptor

  {

  #region Members

  protected string m_Value = null;

  #endregion

  #region Properties

  public string Value

  {

  get { return m_Value; }

  set { m_Value = value; }

  }

  #endregion

  #region XML Methods

  public string XMLSerialize()

  {

  string result = null;

  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());

  StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();

  try

  {

  serializer.Serialize(new XmlTextWriter(writer), this);

  result = writer.ToString();

  }

  catch (Exception err)

  {

  string msg = err.Message;

  msg += " ";

  }

  return result;

  }

  public virtual OrderDescriptor XMLDeSerialize(string xml)

  {

  OrderDescriptor result = new OrderDescriptor();

  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());

  try

  {

  result = (OrderDescriptor)serializer.Deserialize(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(xml)));

  }

  catch (Exception err)

  {

  string msg = err.Message;

  msg += " ";

  }

  return result;

  }

  #endregion

  }
  
  
  Here is the derived class.
  
  
  

  [Serializable]

  public class PostalInfo : OrderDescriptor

  {

  #region Members

  private string m_OrderID = "0";

  private string m_ClassType = null;

  private string m_PieceType = null;

  #endregion

  #region Constructors

  }

  public PostalInfo(string OID, string classtype, string piecetype, string postagetype, string permitnumber, string endorsement)

  {

  m_OrderID = OID;

  m_ClassType = classtype;

  m_PieceType = piecetype;

  m_Endorsement = endorsement;

  //Insert();

  }

  #endregion

  #region Methods

  public PostalInfo XMLDeSerialize(string xml)

  {

  PostalInfo result = new PostalInfo();

  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());

  try

  {

  this.Value = xml;

  OrderDescriptor od = new OrderDescriptor();

  od = od.XMLDeSerialize(xml);

  result = (PostalInfo)serializer.Deserialize(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(od.Value)));

  }

  catch (Exception err)

  {

  string msg = err.Message;

  msg += " ";

  }

  return result;

  }

  #endregion

  }

  }
  
  
   Here is the collection class
  
  
  

  [XmlInclude(typeof(Skymail.BusinessObjects.OrderDescriptors.PostalInfo))]

  [XmlInclude(typeof(Skymail.BusinessObjects.OrderDescriptors.ProductionManifest))]

  [XmlInclude(typeof(Skymail.BusinessObjects.OrderDescriptors.StatusInformation))]

  [Serializable]

  public class OrderDescriptors:CollectionBase

  {

  #region Data Members

  public OrderDescriptor this[int index]

  {

  get

  {

  return (OrderDescriptor)List[index];

  }

  set

  }

  }

  public int Add(OrderDescriptor value)

  // If value is not of type Int16, this will return false.

  return (List.Contains(value));

  }

  #endregion

  #region Event Methods

  protected override void OnInsert(int index, Object value)

  }

  protected override void OnRemove(int index, Object value)

  }

  protected override void OnSet(int index, Object oldValue, Object newValue)

  }

  protected override void OnValidate(Object value)

  if (value.GetType() == Type.GetType("Skymail.BusinessObjects.OrderDescriptors.OrderDescriptor"))

  }

  #endregion

  #region Constructors

  public OrderDescriptors()

  {

  //

  }

   Lastly here is the class that I am passing in the web service
  
  
  
  

  [Serializable]

  public class Order

  {

  #region Data Members

  protected int m_OrderID=0;

  protected string m_CustomerID=null;

  protected DateTime m_Created;

  protected string m_StreamName = null;

  protected int m_OrderType=(int)OrderTypes.Order;

  protected OrderDescriptors.OrderDescriptors m_Descriptors = new Skymail.BusinessObjects.OrderDescriptors.OrderDescriptors();

  #endregion

  #region Properties

  public int OrderID

  {

  get{return m_OrderID;}

  set{m_OrderID=value;}

  }

  public string CustomerID

  {

  get{return m_CustomerID;}

  set{m_CustomerID=value;}

  }

  public DateTime Created

  {

  set { m_Created = value; }

  }

  public string Notes

  public string JobName

  }

  }
  

  
  Let me know if you need more. I appreciate your help
