Okay...problem is...I am mimicing a web service that takes XML as a string and does some serialization\desiralizati<wbr />on into these objexts. Unfortunately...I do not have much say in the design on that part. Probably should have just used regular ASP web services eh? But I appreciate you confirming my insanity. Really I do.

THis drove me crazy for a couple hours. But I have realized that unless I have a method that uses one of my DataContracts as a parameter or a return value, the class is not exposed in the WSDL. So my question is...why the heck not...and can I expose it anyway somehow?

Can't Expose Data Contract When Not Used By A Web Service Method

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
