I think we can return an Object, as an Object is also a base data type, try to create a sample service which returns an object and consume that in your application.

Solution 1

Anything you return from any method in C# (including web methods) is an Object - everything is derived from Object.

So yes, you can - just declare the return parameter to be an object
However, that doesn't mean you will be able to use it at the other end...
