Can someone explain this to me:
I builded an really simple wcf service for testing purposes.
Consuming service from powershell using New-WebServiceProxy I found this stange behaviour:
if in wcf service I have this kind of Contract returning an int
:
[OperationContract]
int GetDictionaryLength();
calling this method in powershell gives an error and the definition of the method is not what I would expect to see
PS C:\ps> $a | Get-Member getdictionarylength | fl *
TypeName : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewWebserviceProxy.AutogeneratedTypes.WebServiceProxy1_022s_pwdservice_svc_wsdl.PWDService
Name : GetDictionaryLength
MemberType : Method
Definition : System.Void GetDictionaryLength(System.Int32&, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 GetDictionaryLengthResult, System.Boolean&, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 GetDictionaryLengthResultSpecified)
changing the contract like this:
[OperationContract]
string GetDictionaryLength();
do a great job called in powershell.
Why this?
WCF is in .net 4.0 Powershell is V2
