 Trick to returning datarows using WCF Minimize
Location: BlogsSean Cullinan    
Posted by: Sean Cullinan 8/12/2008 1:21 PM

As mentioned in other posts I'm working on using Peer Mesh for real time notification of my clients in my application.  When one client crud's a datarow I want to notify all the other clients of the change.  The easiest way is to send the datarow over the mesh. Not so fast, as I found.  You cannot send a datarow over the mesh because even though it seems like it should be inherently serializable, it is not.

Fortunately there is an easy solution.  Just flatten your datarow using the .itemarray function and send the array over the peermesh.  Mydr.itemarray is all you need.  On the receiving side you can simply declare a new datarow off of an existing table, then set myNewDR.itemarray = Mydr.itemarray, then add the row to your datatable.

That's it, I use this method extensively and it is working very well for me!
