When passing a TABLE-HANDLE parameter, the interface or the client views it with different object types, depending on the Web service SOAP format:

The interface represents the parameter as an Object type.
The client represents the parameter as a System.Array type.
For Document/Literal, both the interface and the client represent the parameter as a System.Xml.XmlElement type.
