WCF DataContract vs DataContract Interface

Question

New to WCF.

Can DataContact class inherit from Interface ?

eg:

[DataContract(Namespace = ...........)]
public class VesselSequence : IVesselSeque         


        

Answer 1

You can do this:

[DataContract(Namespace = ...........)]
public class VesselSequence : IVesselSequence
{
    [DataMember]
    public int AllocationId { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    public string ScenarioName { get; set; }
}

interface IVesselSequence
{
    int AllocationId { get; set; }
    string ScenarioName { get; set; }
}

You can't do this, sadly:

public class VesselSequence : IVesselSequence
{
    public int AllocationId { get; set; }
    public string ScenarioName { get; set; }
}

[DataContract(Namespace = ...........)]
interface IVesselSequence
{
    [DataMember]
    int AllocationId { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    string ScenarioName { get; set; }
}
