how to retrieve class over web service?

I have a "User" class in both my Web App and my Webservice.

Everything works and I get data back but when I assign the User class in my Web App that of the Web Service then it cannot convert between the two

How I call it in my web app

 User user = new User();
        user = userService.Login(UserName.Text, Password.Text); // Here it says it can't convert

how I send it from my web service

[WebMethod]
    public User Login (string userName, string Password)
    {
        UserData usrData = new UserData();
        return usrData.UserExists(userName, Password); 
    }

And what my class looks like in both the Web App and the Web Service

[Serializable]
public class User
{
    /// <summary>
    /// User Id
    /// </summary>
    public int ID { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// User Name
    /// </summary>
    public string Name { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// User Surname
    /// </summary>
    public string Surname { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// User Email
    /// </summary>
    public string Email { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// User Password
    /// </summary>
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

So you're trying to call it from C# code? Simply do this...

User user = userService.Login(UserName.Text, Password.Text);

If you're calling it from the server side, you can remove the [WebMethod] attribute. You don't even need a Web Service for this, assuming userService is of type UserService, just place the UserService.cs class inside your App_Code folder. Or better yet, place UserService class in a class library, and add a reference in your web application to that library.
