I have some web services that use Message contracts. It's probably worth mentioning that for these services, I cannot shift to Data contracts...
One of my types specifies a property whose type happens to be an enum:
[SerializableAttribute()]
[MessageContract(IsWrapped = false)]
[KnownType(typeof(RiskTypeCode))]
public partial class RiskType : Lookup
{
private RiskTypeCode codeField;
/// <remarks/>
[XmlElement(ElementName="code")]
[MessageBodyMember]
public RiskTypeCode Code
{
get
{
return this.codeField;
}
set
{
this.codeField = value;
}
}
e.t.c.
My enum is defined as:
[Serializable()]
[DataContract]
public enum RiskTypeCode
{
/// <remarks/>
[XmlEnumAttribute(Name = "THING1")]
[EnumMember]
THING1,
/// <remarks/>
[XmlEnumAttribute(Name="THING2")]
[EnumMember]
THING2,
/// <remarks/>
[XmlEnumAttribute(Name="THING3")]
[EnumMember]
THING3,
}
But when I send this across the wire, the RiskTypeCode property is not serialised - i.e. it's ommitted from the output.
What do I need to decorate my enum/property with to get it across the wire?
