Vista - SVCUtil Reference and Duplicate Classes

I am having issue with svcutil, references and the classes it
generates. I have two service contracts that implement some of the
same classes in their results that I want the proxy code to share. The
source files it outputs no matter what I try keeps putting the same
class in all of the files.

For what it is worth, the class that is being placed in every proxy is
based off of the Generic List. All of the other classes replicated
across the contracts are filtered out. It is just this one class, in
the same namespace as all of the other classes filtered.

Here is the command:
Svcutil /r: com.digitalbp.common.dll
http://localhost:8083/UserService?wsdl

This runs and output a UserService.cs class with this code inline
(cut/paste):

namespace com.digitalbp.common
{
using System.Runtime.Serialization;



[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Runtime.Serialization",
"3.0.0.0")]

[System.Runtime.Serialization.CollectionDataContractAttribute(ItemName="Error")]
public class ErrorCollection :
System.Collections.Generic.List<com.digitalbp.common.Error>
{
}
}

There are a number of other classes defined in com.digitalbp.common
that are not included. Namely as you see above the Error class.

Any ideas?

Do you need to use generated proxies at all?

For type sharing scenarios, I'd rather go with ChannelFactory<T>.

Thanks, but I don't believe that is relevant to the bug I am seeing.
Be it a proxy or a ChannelFactory, I can't compile as the typed generic
class is duplicated in multiple classes.

You missed the type sharing part of my answer. There will be no generated
code if you use ChannelFactory<T> *and* a shared contract assembly, if that's
acceptable in your case.
