I'm trying to consume a WCF service that returns a custom list in the form `List<StockData>`.

Here's the method signature from `IService.cs`:

```
 [OperationContract]
     List<StockData> orderStockData(string compName1, string compName2, string compName3);

```

But when I try referencing it in my website through a service reference:

```
List<StockData> list = new List<StockData>();
list = myProxy.orderStockData(txtinput1.Text, txtinput2.Text, txtinput3.Text);

```

I get the following error:

> 
> Cannot implicitly convert type 'ServiceReference1.StockData[] ' to Systems.Collections.Generic.List
> 
> 
> 

Any help with solving this would be great. Thanks!
