A simplified generated object structure is like this, and each corresponds to a table that code trigger has created an equivalent data and business object.


Project Table
ID
Name


--- SubProject Table
--- ID
--- Name
--- Comments
--- ProjectID


-------- WorkDetails Table
-------- ID
-------- Name
-------- Details
-------- SubProjectID


What is the best way to get all the information across for a specific project instance and its associated child tables so that I can recreate it on the server side? When I try to serialize it, it only returns the project object, no child collections. Your wcf sample version does the same thing. Is there a better way to do this, because essentially I need to have the client send my the project object and its hierarchy and then create a new version of it on the server. The only other option is manually call each one from project on down, but that could result in quite a few calls. Any suggestion would be appreciated]]> Sun, 03 Dec 2017 19:45:09 GMT
