    copied!<p>Is it possible to override the default WCF DataContractSerializer behaviour when Serialize/DeSerialize entities and use JSON.NET instead?</p> <p>I have the following service contract for handling the City entity. For design reasons the City entity has IsReference=true, and therefore the default DataContractSerializer raise errors.</p> <p>For the "GET" methods I can handle the situation with JsonConvert.DeserializeObject, but with "PUT,POST,DELETE" methods DataContractSerializer takes precedence and fails complaining for the IsReference entities cannot be serialized. </p> <p>I have find this <a href="http://www.pluralsight-training.net/community/blogs/aaron/archive/2006/04/21/22284.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Post</a> to implement IOperationBehavior and provide my own Serializer but I do not know how to integrate Json.NET with this. and I believe there should be more straight forward approach for this. </p> <p>I’d appreciate any help or guidance regarding this scenario, or advice to other approaches.</p> <pre><code>[ServiceContract] [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed) [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)] public class CityService { [Description("Get all Cities")] [WebGet(UriTemplate = "")] public Message Cities() { } [Description("Allows the details of a single City to be updated.")] [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "{code}", Method = "PUT")] public Message UpdateCity(string code, City city) { } } </code></pre> <p>Many thanks</p> <p>Hossam</p>
