WCF Returning object arrays

When an array of object is used as the return type or is embedded as part of a parent type in a WCF webservice the object types appearing in the object array should be listed in the ServiceKnownTypeAttribute

[OperationContract]

[ServiceKnownType(typeof(ParameterType))]
[ServiceKnownType(typeof(ConnectorTypeSlot))]
DeviceDescription GetDeviceDescription(int revisionId, int feId);
 
In the case above the DeviceDescription type has an object[] defined in its object tree and the ParameterType appears as a possible object in that object[].
 

Silverlight, iis integrated security etc

To use integrated security for the webservice use the following web.config bindings.

Might also have problems with crossdomain security policies when writing silverlight which consumes a webservice.  (ensure server name is same ie ssdintranet versus ssd365w01.uk.parker   etc)

Linq Transactions

When using transactions in .net the MSDTC component must be configured to allow network transactions on both the client and server (ie the calling web server and the callee server in my case the chinese server). The following liknk discusses how to setup the MSDTC
