Why is my ServiceOperation method missing from my WCF Data Services client proxy code?

I have a simple WCF Data Services service and I want to expose a Service Operation as follows:

[System.ServiceModel.ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true)]
public class ProductDataService : DataService<ProductRepository>
{
    // This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
    public static void InitializeService(IDataServiceConfiguration config)
    {
      config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", 
            EntitySetRights.ReadMultiple | EntitySetRights.ReadSingle);
      config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("*", 
            ServiceOperationRights.All);
      config.UseVerboseError开发者_如何学运维s = true;
    }

// This operation isn't getting generated client side
[WebGet]
public IQueryable<Product> GetProducts()
{
    // Simple example for testing
    return (new ProductRepository()).Product;
}

Why isn't the GetProducts method visible when I add the service reference on the client?

I'm running Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I also downloaded and installed this update:

MS KB: 976127 - An update is available that provides additional features and improvements for ADO.NET Data Services in the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2


Finally solved this. To call a service operation on a data service class you need to use data service context object's CreateQuery or Execute methods. For example:

ProductDataService ctx = new ProductDataService(
    new Uri("http://localhost:1234/ProductDataService.svc/"));

// Method 1:
DataServiceQuery<Product> q = ctx.CreateQuery<Product>("GetProducts");
List<Product> products = q.Execute().ToList();

// Method 2:
Uri uri = new Uri(String.Format("{0}GetProducts", ctx.BaseUri), 
             UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
List<Product> products = ctx.Execute<Product>(uri).ToList();

If parameters were required, say a product category on a service operation that had this signature:

[WebGet]
public IQueryable<Product> GetProducts(string category)

We would do:

// Method 1:
DataServiceQuery<Product> q = ctx.CreateQuery<Product>("GetProducts")
                                .AddQueryOption("category", "Boats") ;
List<Product> products = q.Execute().ToList();

// Method 2:
Uri uri = new Uri(String.Format("{0}GetProducts?category={1}", 
                    ctx.BaseUri, "Boats"), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
List<Product> products = ctx.Execute<Product>(uri).ToList();


(this answer is incorrect (see comments), but is deliberately left here to stop other answers stumbling blindly into the same hole)


IIRC, it also needs to be an [OperationContract]

[OperationContract, WebGet]
public IQueryable<Product> GetProducts()
{
    // Simple example for testing
    return (new ProductRepository()).Product;
}

(and ideally the service itself would be a [ServiceContract])


I had a similar issue with following sample

 [System.ServiceModel.ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true)]
 public class TestService : DataService<MyService>
{
    // This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
    public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
    {

        config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.AllRead);
        config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("*", ServiceOperationRights.AllRead);
        config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V2;

    }

    [WebGet]
    public IQueryable<string> GetStrings(int index)
    {
        string[] list = { "One", "two" };
        return list.AsQueryable(); 

    }
}

When I browsed the service http://localhost:3059/TestService.svc, the list didn't list the method with the WebGet attribute, but I am able to access it using http://localhost:3059/TestService.svc/GetStrings?index=1

This suggests to me that the WCF data service definition doesn’t list the operations when it's browsed through a web browser or there is some undocumented way to get both in the list.
