How can I get WCF to allow the following?
Dim EmployeeID as Integer = 10 Dim emp As New WcfServiceLibrary1.Employee(EmployeeID) Response.write (emp.LastName)
Currently I have to do this because I can’t figure out a way for WCF to allow for Parameterized Constructors:
Dim EmployeeID as Integer = 10 Dim emp As New WcfServiceLibrary1.Employee() emp = emp.GetEmployee(EmployeeID) Response.write (emp.LastName)
It just seems weird that I would have to take this extra step.
you are using a constructor to create an instance of a service class which is different from a normal class, Also, here WCF is handling object marshaling. you wont be able to do what you are trying to achieve using a service contract.
