Hi Henchman 24,
I didn't reproduce your scenario.
1. I create one class library which contains service contract.
namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public enum PrimaryColor
{
Red,
Green,
Blue
};
[ServiceContract]
public interface ISimpleService
{
[OperationContract]
string SimpleMethod(string msg);
[OperationContract]
PrimaryColor GetColor();
}
}
2. I use Self-Host to start WCF service.
class SimpleService : ISimpleService
{
public string SimpleMethod(string msg)
{
Console.WriteLine("The caller passed in " + msg);
return "Hello " + msg;
}
public PrimaryColor GetColor()
{
return PrimaryColor.Red;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ServiceHost svcHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(SimpleService), new Uri[]
{ new Uri("http://localhost:8006/MetadataSample")});
try
{
// Check to see if the service host already has a ServiceMetadataBehavior
ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = svcHost.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>();
// If not, add one
if (smb == null)
smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
smb.MetadataExporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15;
svcHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);
// Add MEX endpoint
svcHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
ServiceMetadataBehavior.MexContractName,
MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexHttpBinding(),
"mex"
);
// Add application endpoint
svcHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ISimpleService), new WSHttpBinding(), "");
// Open the service host to accept incoming calls
svcHost.Open();
// The service can now be accessed.
Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.");
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.ReadLine();
// Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
svcHost.Close();
}
catch (CommunicationException commProblem)
{
Console.WriteLine("There was a communication problem. " + commProblem.Message);
Console.Read();
}
}
3. I create the proxy class for the client via add service references with option "Reuse types in all referenced assemblies". The following is client code.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ServiceReference1.SimpleServiceClient sc = new ServiceReference1.SimpleServiceClient();
MessageBox.Show(sc.GetColor().ToString());
MessageBox.Show(sc.SimpleMethod("test"));
}
The client has reference to classlibrary1. We can see that there is not new enum type generated by IDE.
public ClassLibrary1.PrimaryColor GetColor() {
return base.Channel.GetColor();
}
Please check your code snippet. Or you can give one small code snippet so that we can reproduce your scenario.
Best regards,
Riquel
