I've searched the help and the forums and can't really find anything with this. I found this thread from a few weeks back but it doesn't really answer my question(s).

My biggest question is if there is a generic way to return these (similar to entity collection) so that I only have one KnownType. I've tried the TypedView2 but didn't have success with it.

I'm not sure if the reason the WCF sample doesn't have any of these is an oversight or if it is Frans way of saying that using TypedViews with WCF is a bad idea.

Hi Joel, TypedViews, TypedLists and DynamicLists are all dataTables, I think it would be better to pass these over the wire.

The sample simply doesn't inuclude typedviews but that doesn't mean that htat isn't possible

David:

I'm not sure I understand you. Are you suggesting that I should return the typed view as a dataset/datatable and then cast it to the typed view?

Can you post a code snippet so I see what you mean?

I don't have an example right now, will see if I can do that later for you. Also you can use the ITypedListLgp2 interface way. Look at this: http://llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=13101
