I am trying to add custom methods. These methods do not return Model entities they return DynamicEntities.

 

As of right now I have to add my methods back in everytime I save the Object Mapper.

 

You can extend the WebService partial class, and be sure to decorate the methods with the [WebMethod] attribute so that the methods are visible.  The Web Service Publishing sample application in the 300 Advanced Series of the Instructional Units contains a sample web service with additional web methods in a partial class.

 

ExecuteQuery is not accessable. In the example it uses ExecuteIEntityQuery which is also not accessable.

 

My Extended Webservice:

using System;

using System.Web.Services;

using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

using IdeaBlade.Persistence;

using IdeaBlade.Persistence.WS;

using IdeaBlade.Util;

 

namespace LOC.CEMS.Model

{

    public partial class Webservice

    {

 

        [WebMethod]

        [SoapHeader("SecurityHeader", Direction = SoapHeaderDirection.InOut)]

        public System.Data.DataSet GetQueryResults(IdeaBlade.Persistence.WS.Query pQueryForQueryId, params object[] args)

        {

            Query[] mResults = ExecuteQuery<Query>(pQueryForQueryId, string.Empty);

            …..

        }

    }

}
