Using an enum type with WCF services

An example data contract and service contract/interface that makes use of the enum type.

using System;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace RocxSoft.DataContracts
{
    /// <summary>
    /// RefundStatus Data Contract
    /// </summary>
    [DataContract(Name = "RefundStatus", Namespace = "http://rocxsoft.datacontracts/2008/06")]
    public enum RefundStatus
    {
        [EnumMember()]
        FileInvalid = 0,
        [EnumMember()]
        FileRegistered = 1,
        [EnumMember()]
        FilePending = 2
    }
}

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using RocxSoft.DataContracts;

namespace RocxSoft.ServiceContracts
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Refund Service Contract
    /// </summary>
    [ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://rocxsoft.servicecontracts/2008/06")]
    [ServiceKnownType(typeof(RefundStatus)]
    public interface IRefund
    {
        [OperationContract(Name = "Status")]
        RefundStatus Status(Guid refundId);
        ...
    }
}

Does this work with any other data types?
TIA

I tried the same code but the enum is not visible at client-side until it is referenced by a service method. Is there any way to expose enum without referring it in service methods?

Hi all, fantastic homepage yet just a little slow every time I start reading it, it’s usually my web service, I’m uncertain.

I like the train of thought in your post but I tend to think you would do well to back up your thought process with a very small amount more solid data.
