I have a REST WCF service and a WCF client application for it.

My operation has the WebGet attribute with the following properties: BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json

However, when I use the WCF client, the request is made with the body in XML format! This is undesirable! How can I change it to use JSON?

Furthermore, I want to prevent XML from being accepted on the server side, as well – how can I accomplish this? I would have expected specifying RequestFormat to do it but it appears to be just a suggestion?

Edit: nevermind, I am an idiot. I was looking at the wrong operation contract – the right ones were inside a #region that I had not expanded… the client works fine. The server point is still valid but in the context of this question, it’s probably for the better to consider this question closed.
