How can I set the maxItemsInObjectGraph property programmatically from a Silverlight Application?

Question

I have a Silverlight 3.0 application that is using a WCF service to communicate with the database, and when I have large amounts of data being returned from the service meth

Answer 1

The following is a function that I've used inside a client object that inherits from

System.ServiceModel.ClientBase(Of IServiceName)

The purpose of the method is to programatically set the MaxItemsInObjectGraph value for each operation. This allows me to have much more complex structures.

    Private Sub IncreaseObjectCount()
        For Each op As System.ServiceModel.Description.OperationDescription In Me.Endpoint.Contract.Operations
            For Each dscob As System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior In op.Behaviors.FindAll(Of System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior)()
                dcsob.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = Integer.MaxValue
            Next dcsob
        Next op
    End Sub

I usually call it in the constructors of the object.
