Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a class in a WCF service, lets call it A . A is a data contract, which contains as one of its DataMembers a collection of another custom object B . To avoid Null Reference problems on the client side, I instantiate the BList in the constructor like so: [DataContract] public class A { [DataMember] public String name { get; set; } [DataMember] public List<B> BList {get; set; } public A() { BList = new List<B>(); } } My problem is that on the client, this instantiation does not happen and BList appears as null after an object of A is created on the client. I'm guessing that the constructor does not appear on the client. So, do I need to make the constructor an explicit operation contract? If so that would make internal things visible to the client that they shouldn't see, right? How do I make sure that this instantiation happens on the client? Thanks, and sorry if this seems like a dumb question.
