  1. POWCF consumed as WebService adds a boolean parameter?
    text
    copied!<p>I've created the default WCF Service in VS2008. It's called "Service1"</p> <pre><code>public class Service1 : IService1 { public string GetData( int value ) { return string.Format("You entered: {0}", value); } public CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract( CompositeType composite ) { if ( composite.BoolValue ) { composite.StringValue += "Suffix"; } return composite; } } </code></pre> <p>It works fine, the interface is IService1:</p> <pre><code>[ServiceContract] public interface IService1 { [OperationContract] string GetData( int value ); [OperationContract] CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract( CompositeType composite ); // TODO: Add your service operations here } </code></pre> <p>This is all by default; Visual Studio 2008 created all this.</p> <p>I then created a simple Winforms app to "test" this. I added the Service Reference to my the above mentioned service and it all works. I can instanciate and call myservice1.GetData(100); and I get the result. </p> <p>But I was told that this service will have to be consumed by a Winforms .NET 2.0 app via Web Services, so I proceeded to add the reference to a new Winforms .NET 2.0 application created from scratch (only one winform called form1). This time, when adding the "web reference", it added the typical "localhost" one belonging to webservices; the wizard saw the WCF Service (running on background) and added it. </p> <p>When I tried to consume this, I found out that the GetData(int) method, was now GetData(int, bool).</p> <p>Here's the code</p> <pre><code> private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e ) { localhost.Service1 s1 = new WindowsFormsApplication2.localhost.Service1(); Console.WriteLine(s1.GetData(100, false)); } </code></pre> <p>Notice the false in the GetData call?</p> <p>I don't know what that parameter is or where did that come from, it is called "bool valueSpecified".</p> <p>Does anybody know where this is coming from? Anything else I should do to consume a WCF Service as a WebService from .NET 2.0? (winforms).</p>
