Question

i serialize and post generic types in wcf services and receive it as a json. the format of serialized objects {'__type':'MyClass:#namespace', ...}.

i use __type value to create key value pairs like: MyClass:{x:y, ...} on client side using js.

now i want to do the same thing with generic types i get from wcf services. it is appended a set of hash like numbers and chars. does anybody know the format of the additional char set?
does it follow a specific pattern that helps me to remove it using regex?

Answer 1

The data contract name for generic types can be customized to remove the hash part – see Data Contract Names for more information.
