Enum not serializing
c#, msmq, wcf
Solution
The property was protected. set it to Public and viola - serialized the enum property. Kinda bad as the property resides in a bass class....rather have it protected
Problem
I have a WCF service. it is bound to an MSMQ but that is not the issue here. I can serialize an object which has a base class and an interface implemented in the base class and the concrete class derives from the base class - this works fine. however, when I have an enum in the base class and I set that value, then after it being deserialized/read from the MSMQ, that value is still set to the default value (i.e not the one set manually in code) any ideas whats going on? I even marked the enum as a DataContract and also each of the Enum members with an EnumMember attribute. how can I serialize enums?
