I want to deserialise a JSON response from a Silverlight client.
I have my DTOs in a Portable Class Library, referenced from both server and client.
public class MyDTOResponse
{
public IEnumerable<MyType> ResponseData {get; set; }
}
When I use the ServiceStack C# client (ie NOT from Silverlight), everything works fine: MyType gets hydrated on the client.
From Silverlight, however ResponseData is null.
Simple types work fine from Silverlight also. For example, this works:
public class MyDTOResponse
{
public IEnumerable<string> ResponseData {get; set; }
}
Note: no annotations on the DTOs.
On the client, I am using:
var serviceClient = new ServiceStack.ServiceClient.Web.JsonServiceClient(baseUri);
My work around is to change the DTOs so they use just simple types, then manually hydrate my business objects on the client.
Can I do better than this?
