DynamicObject and WCF support
- by rboarman
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting a DynamicObject to serialize and work with WCF?
Here’s my little test:
[DataContract]
class MyDynamicObject : DynamicObject
{
[DataMember]
private Dictionary<string, object> _attributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
public override bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object result)
{
string key = binder.Name;
result = null;
if (_attributes.ContainsKey(key))
result = _attributes[key];
return true;
}
public override bool TrySetMember(SetMemberBinder binder, object value)
{
_attributes.Add(binder.Name, value);
return true;
}
}
var dy = new MyDynamicObject();
var ser = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(MyDynamicObject));
var mem = new MemoryStream();
ser.WriteObject(mem, dy);
The error I get is:
System.Runtime.Serialization.InvalidDataContractException was unhandled
Message=Type 'ElasticTest1.MyDynamicObject' cannot inherit from a type that is not marked with DataContractAttribute or SerializableAttribute. Consider marking the base type 'System.Dynamic.DynamicObject' with DataContractAttribute or SerializableAttribute, or removing them from the derived type.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rick
