I know I can use the [ServiceKnownType] attribute, which makes the service call run fine from a WCF Test Server, however it still fails from the client. Am I missing something here? [OperationContract] [ServiceKnownType(typeof(SubClassA))] [Se...

If my WCF Configuration file has two services, lets says LoginService and RegistrationService, do they both have to have their own MetaDataExchange endpoint or can I just have one MetaDataExchange endpoint and keep it outside the service element: <services> <service name="a"> <endpoint binding="mexHttpBinding" /> </service> <service nam...

G'day guys, How do I go about enabling service discovering when using WCF's file-less service activation? With this approach it doesn't seem possible to specify explicit endpoint types or a behaviorConfiguration?
