WCF DataContract vs DataContract Interface.

Question

New to WCF.

Can DataContact class inherit from Interface ?

eg:

[DataContract(Namespace = ...........)]
public class VesselSequence : IVesselSequence
{

    [DataMember]
    public int AllocationId { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string ScenarioName { get; set; }
}

interface VesselSequence : IVesselSequence
{
    public int AllocationId { get; set; }
    public string ScenarioName { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

sure it can, but keep in mind if you are returning the interface type you have to define the KnownTypes attribute for the serializer.
