Define WCF XML response schema

问题

I build a WCF Rest service to provide data for another process. suppose that his name is GetData. This one provide a xml response having this structure :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetDataResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <GetDataResult>
    <DataMessage>   
      <a></a>
      <b></b>
      <c></c>
    </DataMessage>
  </GetDataResult>
</GetDataResponse>

the service interface :

    [XmlSerializerFormat]
    [OperationContract(Name = "GetData")]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
               ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
               BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
               UriTemplate = "Data/{Param}")]
    List<DataMessage> GetData(string Params);

I would like to deserialize the xml after saving it, following the DataMessage class. So, I would like to have this schema :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DataMessages xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <DataMessage>
      <a></a>
      <b></b>
      <c></c>
    </DataMessage>
</DataMessages>

What should I do to define the service response schema to have it like this?

Thank you.

You can use some attributes in the System.Xml.Serialization namespace to define an object graph which maps to the schema you have. The code below does that.

public class StackOverflow_7905186
{
    [XmlType(TypeName = "DataMessage", Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
    public class DataMessage
    {
        public string a;
        public string b;
        public string c;
    }
    [XmlRoot(ElementName = "DataMessages", Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
    public class DataMessages
    {
        [XmlElement(ElementName = "DataMessage")]
        public List<DataMessage> Messages;
    }
    [ServiceContract]
    public class Service
    {
        [XmlSerializerFormat]
        [OperationContract(Name = "GetData")]
        [WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
                BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
                UriTemplate = "Data/{Param}")]
        [return: MessageParameter(Name = "DataMessages")]
        public DataMessages GetData(string Param)
        {
            return new DataMessages
            {
                Messages = new List<DataMessage>
                {
                    new DataMessage
                    {
                        a = "1",
                        b = "2",
                        c = "3",
                    }
                }
            };
        }
    }
    public static void Test()
    {
        string baseAddress = "http://" + Environment.MachineName + ":8000/Service";
        WebServiceHost host = new WebServiceHost(typeof(Service), new Uri(baseAddress));
        host.Open();
        Console.WriteLine("Host opened");

        WebClient c = new WebClient();
        Console.WriteLine(c.DownloadString(baseAddress + "/Data/foo"));

        Console.Write("Press ENTER to close the host");
        Console.ReadLine();
        host.Close();
    }
}
