WFC and Inherited List

12-14-2006

Hi

Im trying out WCF for the first time and have hit a small snag. In my
project I have a class called Passenger which simplified look like this

<DataContract> _
Public Class Passenger

<DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState.Never)> _
Protected mAge As Integer = 0

<DataMember()> _
Public Property Age() As Integer
<DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Get
Return Me.mAge
End Get
<DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
Me.mAge = value
End Set
End Property

End Class

I then have a strong type collection of Passengers with an additional method

<DataContract()> _
Public Class PassengerList
Inherits List(Of Passenger)

Public Function FooBar() As Boolean
' Some code that doesn't matter
End Function

End Class

The PassengerList object is then exposed through my service contract. When I
try to add a Service Reference in my client project I get an error. Now I
assume
this has to do that since the members of List(Of T) which I inherit do not
have the DataMember attribute added to its members (like the items). How is
this kind of
stuff done in a "Correct WFC way" ?

Thanks for your advice!

Hello, Andreas!

what error do you get?

Have a look at ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730167.aspx )
to known more about how to handle inheritance in data contracts

Hello, Vadym

The error messages I get are

If you would like more help, type "svcutil /?"

Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from http://localhost:8081/Search

If this is a Windows (R) Communication Foundation service to which you have
access, please check that you have enabled metadata publishing at the
specified address. For help enabling metadata publishing, please refer to

Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved:

There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:8081/Search that could
accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP

This only happens as soon as I try to include the property that returns a
Passengers object (Renamed from PassengerList). Below is the object graph
that is exposed in my ServiceContract. SearchPararametersBase is the type
thats is the service contract. If I replace the Passengers property (on the
SearchParametersBase class) with a string property, then the client
application
has no problem to add the Service Reference.

<DataContract()> _
Public Class SearchParametersBase

#Region "Passengers"

<DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState.Never)> _
Protected mPassengers As Passengers = New Passengers()

Public Property Passengers() As Passengers
<DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Get
Return Me.mPassengers
End Get
<DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Set(ByVal value As Passengers)
If (value Is Nothing) Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("Passengers", "Passengers
cannot be null.")
End If
Me.mPassengers = value
End Set
End Property

#End Region

End Class

<CollectionDataContract(), KnownType("GetKnownType")> _
Public Class Passengers
Inherits List(Of Passenger)

#Region "GetKnownType"

Private Function GetKnownType() As Type()
Return New Type() {GetType(Passenger)}
End Function

#End Region

End Class

<DataContract()> _
Public Class Passenger

#Region "Age"

<DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState.Never)> _
Protected mAge As Integer = 0

<DataMember()> _
Public Property Age() As Integer
<DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Get
Return Me.mAge
End Get
<DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
If ((value < 0) OrElse (value > 99)) Then
Throw New ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Age", value, "Age cannot be less
than zero or larger than 99.")
End If
Me.mAge = value
End Set
End Property

#End Region

End Class

Excellent! Once I turned on the debug information I realized I had forgotten
to make my KnownType method static so the problem was related to the fact
that it could not locate the specified method. Thanks!

Andreas Håkansson Guest	WFC and Inherited List Hi Im trying out WCF for the first time and have hit a small snag. In my project I have a class called Passenger which simplified look like this <DataContract> _ Public Class Passenger <DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState.Never)> _ Protected mAge As Integer = 0 <DataMember()> _ Public Property Age() As Integer <DebuggerStepThrough()> _ Get Return Me.mAge End Get <DebuggerStepThrough()> _ Set(ByVal value As Integer) Me.mAge = value End Set End Property End Class I then have a strong type collection of Passengers with an additional method <DataContract()> _ Public Class PassengerList Inherits List(Of Passenger) Public Function FooBar() As Boolean ' Some code that doesn't matter End Function End Class The PassengerList object is then exposed through my service contract. When I try to add a Service Reference in my client project I get an error. Now I assume this has to do that since the members of List(Of T) which I inherit do not have the DataMember attribute added to its members (like the items). How is this kind of stuff done in a "Correct WFC way" ? Thanks for your advice! //Andreas

Andreas Håkansson Guest	Re: WFC and Inherited List Excellent! Once I turned on the debug information I realized I had forgotten to make my KnownType method static so the problem was related to the fact that it could not locate the specified method. Thanks!
