I've got a WCF Web Service method whose prototype is: [OperationContract] Response<List<Customer>> GetCustomers(); When I add the service reference to a client, Visual Studio (2005) creates a type called "ResponseOfArrayOfCustomerrleXg3IC" that is a wrapper for "Response<List<Customer>>". Is there any way I can control the wrapper na...
I have a WCF service hosted for internal clients - we have control of all the clients. We will therefore be using a data contracts library to negate the need for proxy generation. I would like to use some readonly properties and have some datacontracts without default constructors. Thanks for your help... ...
There is some magic going on with WCF deserialization. How does it instantiate an instance of the data contract type without calling its constructor? For example, consider this data contract: [DataContract] public sealed class CreateMe { [DataMember] private readonly string _name; [DataMember] private readonly int _age; priva...
I have built a complex query mechanism which I want to provide a factory for in order to assist people with common query patterns. My methods are all revealed via WCF as a SOAP web service. What is the best way to ensure that my factory is easy to use across all clients that may wish to use my service (as I don't expect all of my custome...
I need to be able to use WCF Session capability in a Silverlight application. Currently Silverlight only supports basicHttp binding, so this is impossible. My thoughts are to create a middle piece with wsHttp caapabilities that will handle the Sessions for me and my sessionless Silverlight app can pass in the SessionID guid. Is this ev...

Is it possible to provide WCF with a custom proxy address and custom credentials? I've found this answer on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/105499/how-to-set-proxy-with-credentials-to-generated-wcf-client, but I've got a complication, the service I'm authenticating against uses its own authentication, so I've got to u...
My project is split up into a typical 3 layer structure for a Silverlight app. That is: A base layer, which is a class library that contains all my business objects, logic, data access etc. A middle layer which is a WCF service which communicates with; My Silverlight front end The problem I have is that currently the BO's exposed thr...
I have few different applications among which I'd like to share a C# enum. I can't quite figure out how to share an enum declaration between a regular application and a WCF service. Here's the situation. I have 2 lightweight C# destop apps and a WCF webservice that all need to share enum values. Client 1 has Method1( MyEnum e, s...
We have a shrink wrap type Windows server application where we need to create a self signed certificate on the server to be used by some WCF web services. From our searches on the web, it appears that the makecert utility in the PlatformSDK from Microsoft cannot be distributed with our application, so we're looking for alternatives. ...
