Readonly property WCF

[Niclas]

Hi,

I am developing a service in WCF and am returing a complex object to the
consumer of the service. I would like some properties of this object to be
readonly but from what I understand readonly properties are not supported in
WCF. Is there a workaround for this, or do I need to make all properties
Writeable and manage this through error handling ?

Any advice would be appreciated

Regards

Niclas

Writable data or readonly data makes no sense. The WebService is purely
returning data to the client (hence the DataContract term). The concept of
"writing" does not exist. A client can only "write" by making calls to
operations on the server and sending data as the arguments of these
operations.
