WCF SOAP payload content serialization with different types

Question

I am dealing with a WSCF (Web Service Contract Firs) implementation where I received the XSDs files and the generic call as a WSDL file.

The generic SOAP call looks like this:

`<env:Body>
    <ns0:ProcessMessage xmlns:ns0="...">
        <ns0:payload>
            <ns0:content id="0">
                <ns1:ObjectToBeSerialize>`

I received the XSDs files with multiple objects that could be received in place of <ns1:ObjectToBeSerialize>. I generated all C# classes from the XSD and created an abstract class from 'content' class where I am adding the property to the specific classes but this approach is not working. I have also tried to use a partial class from 'content' class but I am not successful either.

Any ideas on how to implement this approach?

It seems that the partial class approach should work, do you have the correct namespace attributes etc? What type of errors are you getting? — Popo, Dec 18 '18 at 20:09
Partial class solves the problem, as you said I just need to make sure the namespace was correct and also flag IsNullable=true. — Thiago, Dec 19 '18 at 17:02
glad to hear it, I posted an answer as well for the sake of it. — Popo, Dec 19 '18 at 17:12

Thanks to @Popo I figure that I did not use the proper namespace and also the flag IsNullable = true.

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(ElementName ="ElementName", Namespace = "Namespace", IsNullable = true)]

Using partial a Partial class should work for you. Make sure that the namespaces are correct in your attributes for your properties and classes.
