I'm trying
to take advantage of Bidirectional serialization of some relational Linq-2-Sql generated entity classes. When using Unidirectional option everything works just fine, bu the moment I add IsReferenceType=true, objects fail
to get transported over the tcp binding.
Sample code:
Entity class:
[Table(Name="dbo.Blocks")]
[DataContract()]
public partial class Block : INotifyPropertyChanging, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private static PropertyChangingEventArgs emptyChangingEventArgs = new PropertyChangingEventArgs(String.Empty);
private long _ID;
private int _StatusID;
private string _Name;
private bool _IsWithControlPoints;
private long _DivisionID;
private string _SHAPE;
private EntitySet<BlockByWorkstation> _BlockByWorkstations;
private EntitySet<PlanningPointAppropriation> _PlanningPointAppropriations;
private EntitySet<Neighbor> _Neighbors;
private EntitySet<Neighbor> _Neighbors1;
private EntitySet<Task> _Tasks;
private EntitySet<PlanningPointByBlock> _PlanningPointByBlocks;
private EntitySet<ControlPointByBlock> _ControlPointByBlocks;
private EntityRef<Division> _Division;
private bool serializing;
