    copied!<p>I've just started playing with the REST starter kit, and I've hit a road block trying to build my own service. I'm trying to create a service for account management, and I can't get the service to serialize my objects, throwing the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Unable to deserialize XML body with root name 'CreateAccount' and root namespace '' (for operation 'CreateAccount' and contract ('Service', '<a href="http://tempuri.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://tempuri.org/</a>')) using DataContractSerializer. Ensure that the type corresponding to the XML is added to the known types collection of the service.</p> </blockquote> <p>Here's the actual code for the service (based off of the 'DoWork' method that came with the project):</p> <pre><code>[WebHelp(Comment = "Creates a Membership account")] [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "CreateAccount", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)] [OperationContract] public ServiceResponse CreateAccount(CreateAccount request) { try { // do stuff return new ServiceResponse() { Status = "SUCCESS", ErrorMessage = "" }; } catch (Exception ex) { return new ServiceResponse() { Status = "ERROR", ErrorMessage = ex.Message + "\n\n" + ex.StackTrace }; } } </code></pre> <p>And last, but not least, here's the object that's causing all the trouble:</p> <pre><code>public class CreateAccount { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string Email { get; set; } public bool SignUpForNewsletter { get; set; } public string Password { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Am I missing anything stupid?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
