There was an error while trying to serialize parameter http://CalcProcessWCF:req. The InnerException message was 'Type 'System.String[]' with data contract name 'ArrayOfstring:http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays' is not expected. Add any types not known statically to the list of known types - for example, by using the KnownTypeAttribute attribute or by adding them to the list of known types passed to DataContractSerializer.'. Please see InnerException for more details.I have to resort to set it programmatically from proxy in order to get it working:foreach (var operation in proxy.Endpoint.Contract.Operations) { operation.KnownTypes.Add(typeof(MyDynamicallyAddedKnownType)); }why... -
