Service/DataContract Versioning

  • Article

It was sooo hard to find this link and I knew what I was looking for, so I thought I'd post it here for the benefit of others.

The 'official' data contract/service versioning story is here: https://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/WCF_Con/html/4a0700cb-5f5f-4137-8705-3a3ecf06461f.asp

I know that this may not satisfy a lot of people both internally and externally, but it is a simple story that just happens to be the POR for versioning in the V1 timeframe frame for WCF. From a tooling perspective, I think that we should at least make this story easier until there is a better one to tell.
