Optional parameters does not seem to work in WCF #13

Open esfdk opened 12 years ago

Apparantly WCF does not handle optional parameters on operation contracts very well, so the "optional" parameters are not optional.

A fix would be to scrap the parameters, and replace by one parameter. This would be a new class, that would contain all the previous parameters. An example:

GetMovies() has a lot of different parameters - most are intended to be optional. By replacing all parameters with only one of type GetMoviesParameters, we would not only get a simpler service interface, but it would also be possible for the client to omit filling out some of the properties of GetMoviesParameters = optional parameters.

This is only a niceness feature, and is not crucial for the service to work. It works fine right now, and we won't fix it for this release.
