Just curious, if I create a data contract with a class will the constuctors get called in the client, service or both If I have the following, will the constructor get called on the client side or will the constructor get called on the service side during deserialization or not at all I have done testing and it seems to not get called, but I wanted to ask the question anyway. Thanks!
[DataContract] public class Person { public Person() { this.Name = "No Name"; } private string _Name; [DataMember] public string Name { get { return _Name; } set { _Name = value; } } }
constructors in a class data contract?

No contructors are called during deserialization. But Indigo has a way of dealing with that.
You can use the serialization callbacks to do your DC initialization.
