Converting Businesss Object to Data Transfer Object

[Saiyed Alam]

Hello... I'm new to WCF. I'm working on a architecture where I need to convert my Business object class to Data Transfer Object class for accessing web service. At the same time I need to do the opposite. but I don't know how to this conversion? Any help would be appreciated, specially with code sample. Thanking in Advance Johnny

If I create a webservice without using WCF, the webservice just lets me define a normal business object, and define a method that takes that object. Does WCF make web services harder to use ?

Thanks for your quick response. Actually i have to transfer the business object from my Desktop app to a remote WCF service .That's why i think i have to convert my business object to DTO and vice versa. How can i do this?

If you're really using WCF for your "web service" then you shouldn't need to ask this question. I would recommend studying at least the fundamentals in the WCF Documentation[^]
