VS2010 confuses System.Xml.XmlElement with System.Xml.Linq.XElement?

Question

I have created a WCF service with one method which returns a System.Xml.XmlElement:

Interface:

[ServiceContract]
public         


        

Answer 1

1) Remove the system.xml.linq reference from your client 2) Update your service reference 3) The re-generated Reference.cs file will now reference XmlElement instead of XElement
