WCF Serialization

[sureshvijayan]

Hello,

I have to develop a project which uses WCF and Dotnet Desktop application.

I have a Dotnet Class Library (DBClassLib) which functions for database activities and database is placed on remote server.

I need to create a WCF application (DBWCF) which calls the above said class library for database access.

WCF application will be referenced in the Dotnet Desktop Application(DBClient).

I have gone thru some topics on serialization.

Consider in my project, i have to add the details of a Customer such as his id, name, address, zip etc..., and there is a method in DBClassLib project to do this. ClassName : CustomerEntity CE

This class has created like to get fields as properties. CE.name, CE.address, etc...

So from WCF application, i will create object for DBClassLib and set the values like said above.

Now what i am having doubt is data transmission from Desktop and WCF app.

I can create a method in wcf app {getCustName(name,address,...)} which accepts name, address, zip etc as method parameters and set to CE.Name = name, CE.address=address, etc.

Is the above way is fast and perfect or

Create a seperate class (WCFCustomerClass WCC) in WCF application which will have properties like name, address etc and in the desktop application, the user needs to set WCC.name="", WCC.address="",... and pass it as serialization technique.

Which one is perfect in the above...

thankzzzzzzz
