input: [Category] Data Contracts [Description] With .NET 4.0, WCF provides for a simple programmatic way of resolving a known type issue. Whenever the serializer encounters a type it does not know how to resolve, allows the developer to resolve it at runtime by deriving from DataContractResolver and calling ResolveName() during deserialization to return the resolved type or TryResolveType() to return the name and namespace of a type being serialized. The demo shows how to implement such a resolver for a particular case. You will also see how to install the resolver on the host and the client sides. As you can see, it is very labor intensive. This issue is addressed with the Generic Resolver provided by IDesign. [Last Updated] 2/12/2011 [Title]
