WCF DataContract ToString function

Question

Can you override the ToString function in a WCF DataContrat? Right now I have:

[DataContract]
public class Keyword
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    pub         


        

Answer 1

Where do you want to be able to invoke ToString()? Methods are not part of the DataContract so they won't be available when you create the proxy for the client.

Of course, nothing is stopping you from coding that method in the client's proxy yourself.
