Question

My WCF Data Service includes this:

[WebGet]
public MyClass GetClass() { return new MyClass(); }

And this works just fine when I call it through REST.

However, I have a Service Reference in a Silverlight project and I want to call it.

I do this:

var _Context = new DatabaseContainer(new Uri("http://localhost:1234/Service.svc/"));
var _Results = new DataServiceCollection<MyClass>(_Context);
var _Query = _Context. ???

How do I access my GetClass() method?

Thanks.

It’s a ServiceOperation with a non-Queryable return type, so you need Execute it using your client.
