    You need to tell svcutil to generate the types as whatever generic type you want. You do this by adding this switch to the svcutil command:

    svcutil ..blah... /ct:System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1
    

    The /ct is short for /collectionType. In this case I specified Collection<T> but you could have just as easily used System.Collections.Generic.List<T>.
