ClientTypeAttribute Class

Article
09/28/2012

When encountered provides a mapping between a server type and a client type when generating the proxy. An example of such a use may be that the client uses the URI object everywhere, but the URI object cannot be deserialized. In this case you could add a ClientType(typeof(Uri)) to the server and have the server take a string instead.
