title: How do you return a user defined type from a WCF service?
body: <p>I have a WCF service hosted in IIS. The intention is for clients to make a call and receive a custom class that is defined in another project/dll. I have generated a service client using the svcutil.exe. The problem is this autogenerated client contains a new partial / proxy definition for the class I am trying to return from the service. It now throws a conversion error between my original custom class and the new partial definition at compile time. So how do you return user defined types from a WCF service? Advice appreciated.</p>
