svcutil.exe

I'm trying to create a new Service Reference from a WSDL and all of the properties I expect to be DateTime instead of string. For example, this xsd definition for Contact: <s:complexType name="Contact"> <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Address" type="tns:Address" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Email" type="s:string" /> ... <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="BirthDate" type="s:date" /> </s:sequence> The type of BirthDate is s:date, but the generated type (in Reference.cs) is a string. internal partial class Contact : object,

I would like to force svcutil to generate all data contracts in an assembly that is used by WCF, regardless of whether or not a type is referenced by a given operation contract. [DataContract] public class Foo { } [DataContract] public class Bar : Foo { } [ServiceContract] public interface IService { [OperationContract] void Get(Foo foo); } Given this setup I cannot get svcutil to generate a version of Bar as there are no operation contracts that currently reference it. Is there a way to force svcutil to generate the data contract for Bar ? Add a KnownType attribute to the Foo class [KnownType

I am using xsd.exe to generate some c# classes from a .xsd file. I ran into the same issue that is covered here and on other sites where xsd.exe generates Type[] arrays instead of generic List collections for types in the .xsd file. Some people have suggested that svcutil.exe can be used as a replacement for xsd.exe if you pass the /dataContractOnly parameter to svcutil.exe. However, it seems like those people are mistaken because svcutil.exe actually generates System.Xml.XmlNode[] array properties instead of creating types based on the schema in the .xsd file. For example, given this simple

Any example of WCF client server providing of List or Array of custom class objects would help me! But here is what I have got so far: Here is my class system I want to provide namespace NEN_Server.FS { [Serializable()] public class XFS { private List<NFS> files; public XFS() { files = new List<NFS>(); } public List<NFS> Files { get { return files; } set { files = value; } } } } where NFS is namespace NEN_FS { public interface INFS : IEquatable<NFS> { string Path { get; set; } } [Serializable()] abstract public class NFS : INFS { abstract public string Path { get; set; } public NFS() { Path =

I want to run the svcutil.exe tool to access a web service on the internet. Unfortunately, whenever I try, I get a bunch of errors that include the following message: The request failed with HTTP status 407: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. As I have learned from this related post (with more details here ), the problem is that I am sitting behind an authenticating proxy. That post explains that I need to edit the app.config file, but I can't figure out how to do that. I think I will use the

I am trying to consume a web service specified using WSDL by creating a WCF proxy using svcutil.exe, but the WSDL specifies that some of the operations have parameters that are optional (minOccurs="0"), for example: <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="meetingId" type="xs:int" /> Unfortunately, the generated proxy does not allow me to not specify the values (the parameters are not nullable), and there are no "specified" fields as part of the call to instruct the proxy that no value should be sent. Is there any way to use svcutil to generate a proxy that would allow me to do this? (On
