Hi - a couple of basic questions:

(1)
if I have a custom class as a parameter to an OperationContract method,
does that class need to be a DataContract class?

(2)
do the DataMembers of a DataContract always have to have a "get" and a
"set"?


Thanks,
Peter

1) Custom defined types must have the DataContract attribute. Alternatively,
if you can use MessageContracts.

2) No. They can even be private, protected, or public members but without
having equivalent property declarations.
