WCF controlling JSON output
-
I have a WCF service hosted in an ASP.NET application (.svc item). I have an operation contract which returns IList where T is a custom object. Here's the contract definition:
[OperationContract] [WebInvoke(BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "/FindTeamsByZipCode")] IList<TeamEx> FindTeamsByZipCode(Guid ssid, String zipCode, Double radius);The output of the operation looks something like this:{"FindTeamsByZipCode":[{"id":1,"name":"team"},{"id":2,"name":"team2"}]}Is there any way I can control the value of the "root" (ie. {"FindTeamsByZipCode":)?Code responsibly: OWASP.org Mark's blog: developMENTALmadness.blogspot.com

Hi ! Sorry, that I do NOT have the answer. Allow me a question so:How do you get it serialized this way???? That's what I wish, but never got! I use the same contract definition like you use.
Ciao, mb
You need the correct service config: <system.serviceModel> <behaviors> <endpointBehaviors> <behavior name="jsonBehavior"> <webHttp/> </behavior> </endpointBehaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="MvcApplication.Services.TeamBehavior"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> <services> <service behaviorConfiguration="MvcApplication.Services.TeamBehavior" name="MvcApplication.Services.Team"> <endpoint behaviorConfiguration="jsonBehavior" address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MvcApplication.Services.ITeam"> <identity> <dns value="www.mydomain.com"/> </identity> </endpoint> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/> </service> </services> </system.serviceModel> what this does is define an endpointBehvior which turns on webHttp and a serviceBehavior which enables httpGet. Then apply the serviceBehaior to your service element and the endpointBehavior to your endpoint config.

Hi Mark! Thanks for the pointer! That's really good. In the meantime, I also found other good hints and finally, I maestred the [your] app. The most time, I've spent time with, was your typo on the exjs grid ["colums" instead of "columns"] ;-) [I was not able to read this :-( ]. Many thanks for the tipps and the demo!!
