I have a WCF Service Application. I have 2 different contracts(services). I did this because by having them one big service, there will be 80 – 90 Operation contracts.

So I divided them into 2 services. Both these services share some Business objects (data contracts from DAAB layer). Both the services are used by one app.

I have a ambiguous types on the client side, because even though they are one complex datatype on the service side, they are considered 2 different data types on the client side.

Is there way where I can say both are of the same kind on the client side?

    I ran into a similar problem on a project… We just called svcutil.exe directly to generate our client proxies. The trick is to pass in both services at the same time so that it can re-use the types.

    EDIT: This article appears to solve the problem you’re having:
