DataContract serialization throw an Security exception - serialization

I am trying to use DataContractSerialization on WPF and WP7. All things are good on WPF but not on WP7. When I tryed to serialize an object on wp7, I received an unknown security exception. Please view the attached source code and help me.
Source code (mediafire)
Thanks.

I had the same issue.
In my scenario, I was trying to serialize a nested class.
I had to remove the nesting and define the class as public, and then it worked.

NServiceBus: need to configure channels for my Gateway with code

I'm engaged in building NServiceBus Gateway handler, and I need to avoid config files so that all configuration is defined inside c# classes. As a result I have to convert the following section to c# code
<GatewayConfig>
<Channels>
<Channel Address="http://localhost:25899/SiteB/" ChannelType="Http" Default="true"/>
</Channels>
</GatewayConfig>
I've found GatewayConfig, ChannelCollection and ChannelConfig in a NServiceBus.Config namespace, but I can not link them together, coz GatewayConfig refers to ChannelCollection, but ChannelCollection has nothing to do with ChannelConfig. Please help
Just create a class implementing IProvideConfiguration of GatewayConfig. That gives you a way to provide your own config. Look at the pubsub sample for the exact details on how to do this.
Well, I've found the way to do it as I installed Reflector and looked into the implementation. There is a ChannelCollection.CreateNewElement() method returning back System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement. NServiceBus overriden the method instantiating ChannelConfig inside it, so all I have to do is to cast ConfigurationElement type to ChannelConfig type which is far from intuitive interface. Looks like this NServiceBus.Config.ChannelCollection is kind of unfinished work, because if you look at other collections like NServiceBus.Config.MessageEndpointMappingCollection you can find there all necessary type-safe methods to work with its child elements NServiceBus.Config.MessageEndpointMapping, so I think NServiceBus team was just lazy to make the same for ChannelCollection.
UPDATE: as CreateNewElement() method is protected, I have to implement my own class inherited from ChannelCollection to make a method adding new ChannelConfig element publicly available

vb.net "The type initializer threw an exception" issue

I encountered this exception when I trying to load a certain page. It doesn't show me which line of code has problem, which makes me kind of dizzy now..
What is a type initializer? What is it used for? and how can I troubleshoot this problem? Any suggestion?
Type initializer or static constuctor is block of code that is triggered by the first of the following events to occur within an application domain.
An instance of that class is created
Any of the static member of that class is accessed/referenced.

WcfTestClient.exe not able to handle circular reference?

I'm working on a wcf project. Some of my services return objects that contain circular references. The serialization of these objects is handled through setting IsReference to true on DataContract attribute, so everything works fine if i write code to call those services. But for simple testing, it seems more preferable to me to use the GUI interface WcfTestClient.exe, and it turns out that WcfTestClient fails to display circularly referenced objects.
I know trying to display objects which contain references to each other will cause infinite recursion if nothing special has been processed. I just wonder does that mean it is impossible to test services that return circularly referenced objects via WcfTestClient ? Thanks.
Hi I had the same problem with WCF test client , which cannot able to handle this circular reference even the IsReference =true. An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll error is happening at the WCFTestClient.exe , but not with your WCF service, that's why it's falling to the visual studio Disassembly with the stackoverflow error. the point is WCFTestClient is not intended or expecting a circular reference like visual studio object tree. Hope you understand. nice question anyway... :)

Any references to replacing the XmlSerialiaztioNBehavior for WCF?

I need to hook up my own XmlSerializer (need to do some custom prepataions). They are all "valid" and easy to do when creating an XmlSerializer, but...
...when using WCF using the behavior am not creating the serializer. So I run into a problem.
Anyone has a reference how to replace the XmlSerialiaztionBehavior of WCF and to "inject" a custom prepared XmlSerializer?
You might want to look into custom message formatters, or here on msdn.

Sending interfaces as message in NServiceBus with the Binary Serializer

I recently moved to using the binary serializer to send messages with NServiceBus. My messages are all defined as interfaces and are instantiated using
bus.Send<MessageType>(msg => msg.Property = someValue)
This leads to an exception being thrown from NServiceBus stating that
Cannot create an instance of an
interface
I can see from the stack trace that the SimpleMessageMapper is being used, and after looking in the source can see it's making a call to Activator.CreateInstance.
I can't find anything in the documentation stating that it's not possible to do what I'm trying to do, is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
Matt
I only just started playing with nServiceBus, so all I can offer you is theory :).
Are you defining the implementation classes for your message interfaces, or is nServiceBus generating classes on its own? If the former, make sure you still have a default constructor and that the class and all fields/events are marked as [Serializable] or [NonSerialized]. If the latter, it's possible that nServiceBus doesn't know how to generate members which may be needed for (de)serialization. You may have to write and map the implementation class yourself.
