Written with POCOs and a simple class derived from ObjectContext and you are on the way…

Further digging this morning led me to this article on the ADO.NET team blog explaining the issues with return types and stored procedures in Entity Framework.  The article also links to another great article showing how to return custom types two ways:  one way through the entity framework itself, the other through the use of extension methods.

Thanks David.

Here is one solution:

The GU also mentions some of this in the post and in digging through all the comments.

  1. Streaming requires a MessageContract and not a DataContract
  2. Streaming doesn’t work on wsHTTPbinding.
  3. A MessageContract can only have one Member in the body (stream).

Another good piece:
