Expecting element from namespace encountered with name namespace – Error DataContractSerializer
I have a REST enabled WCF service with Method GetFruits() which return list of Fruit objects serialized in XML format.
My ‘Fruit’ class defined as below
[DataContract]
public class Fruit {
string name = string.Empty;
[DataMember]
public string Name {
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}
}
I built a Client Web application and try to execute the ‘GetFruits’ and get the Fruit collection.
I got the result XML but when I try to DeSerialize XML to List<Fruit> I got below error
Reason –
- Namespace of ‘Fruit’ class at Service and Client are not matching
Fix –
- Add ‘Namespace’ tag to ‘Fruit’ class in both Client & Server.
[DataContract(Namespace = “ABC”)]
public class Fruit
{}
Check Entities attribute type – CRM Late Binding
Recently somebody posted a question in my blog, whether there is a way to determine the entities ‘Attribute Type’ instead of making Organization service call and read the metadata.
Assume you have a Plug-in you made a ‘Retrieve’ call using Late Binding and, you got Entity object.
Below is easy way to determine type of each attribute using ‘is’ operator.
Entity.Attributes[attributeName] is EntityReference
Or
Entity.Attributes[attributeName] is Money
Or
Entity.Attributes[attributeName] is OptionSetValue
🙂
