We are using DevForce 9 with Silverlight clients, and we'd like some custom data to travel with the user information; however, when we try to create a LoginManager that returns our custom principal, we're getting what appear to be serialization errors griping about the datacontract serializer not being aware of the type. Unfortunately, I have no way to add that attribute to whatever class is being serialized as it is inside the compiled DevForce assemblies. Is there a way to make the serializer aware of our types?

On your custom class did you do the following?:
  1. Mark your class with the [DataContract] attribute.
  2. Mark your class with the [DiscoverableType(DiscoverableTypeMode.KnownType)] attribute OR have your class implement IKnownType (a marker interface).
  3. Have each serializable property in the class marked with the [DataMember] attribute.
