Question

In my WCF Service I have a property declared as such:

public string PropertyName
{
    get { return propertyName; }
    set { propertyName = value; }
}

In my Client, when I add a service reference to the service, the imported .cs file has the same property, except it has lost its casing, as such:

[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute(IsRequired=true)]
public string propertyName
{
    get
    {
        return this.propertyNameField;
    }
    set
    {
        this.propertyNameField = value;
    }
}

(Notice the lowercase p on propertyName.)

Is there anything I can do so that consumers actually get the property with the intended Casing, ie: PropertyName, not propertyName?

Have you tried explicitly setting the Name in the DataMember? For example:

[DataMember(Name="PropertyName")]
public string PropertyName { get { ... } set { ... } }
