WcfTestClient.exe not able to handle circular reference?

Question

I\'m working on a wcf project. Some of my services return objects that contain circular references. The serialization of these objects is handled through setting IsReference

Answer 1

Hi I had the same problem with WCF test client , which cannot able to handle this circular reference even the IsReference =true. An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll error is happening at the WCFTestClient.exe , but not with your WCF service, that's why it's falling to the visual studio Disassembly with the stackoverflow error. the point is WCFTestClient is not intended or expecting a circular reference like visual studio object tree. Hope you understand. nice question anyway... :)
