title: Cannot implicitly convert type 'ServiceReference1.StockData[] ' to Systems.Collections.Generic.List<StockData>
body: <p>I'm trying to consume a WCF service that returns a custom list in the form <code>List&lt;StockData&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the method signature from <code>IService.cs</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code> [OperationContract]
       List&lt;StockData&gt; orderStockData(string compName1, string compName2, string compName3);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I try referencing it in my website through a service reference:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;StockData&gt; list = new List&lt;StockData&gt;();
  list = myProxy.orderStockData(txtinput1.Text, txtinput2.Text, txtinput3.Text);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cannot implicitly convert type 'ServiceReference1.StockData[] ' to Systems.Collections.Generic.List</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Any help with solving this would be great. Thanks!</p>
