    Custom classes and DataContracts

    Here's the situation folks.

    I have two WCF Services, CustomerDALC and PricingDALC.
    I have a desktop application containing service references to both of these.
    This was done via the VS IDE.

    On the server-side, CustomerDALC and PricingDALC use the same Customer.cs
    class file (a [DataContract] with [DataMember] attributes).

    From the desktop application, when I use CustomerDALC to get a customer and
    then call PricingDALC which takes a Customer object as a parameter, I get
    the following error at compile time:

    Error 2 Argument '1': cannot convert from
    'MarginCalculat or.CustomerDALC .Customer' to
    'MarginCalculat or.PricingDALC. Customer' C:\SourceSafeLi b2008\Desktop
    Applications\Ma rginCalculator\ Logic.cs 92 17 MarginCalculato r

    How can I overcome this? I've tried serializing the CustomerDALC.Cu stomer
    object using XMLSerializer and then deserialize into a PricingDALC.Cus tomer
    object, but receive an error during deserialization . Please help.

      Re: Custom classes and DataContracts

      If the property is read-only, the serializer won't be able to recreate the
      property on the client side. The property needs to be read/write. For this
      reason, your DataContracts should be separated from your business classes.
