Hi Kevin,

The sample does not have any methods so if I had a method on the service that needed to return data, I would need to have the business objects on that side also. Anyway, this is my first look at this in MM and I am very confused.

Rather than remoting an entire business object behind a web service it's far more efficient to remote just the data access class (since a call to an object on a different physical mahine is a few thousand times slower than a call to an object on the same machine. That's why you don't need a business object on the WCF Service side.

>Best Regards,

I had read that already and then worked through the short steps that follow to create the solution. I was confused as to how the service was going to provide data without the business objects and methods to call on the service but after looking through the MM solution for WCF I figured out what you were doing. There actually is no need to create much in the way of service methods as the methods are on the local business objects and the data access calls are already done in the framework.
Now if I could just clear the hosted error I think I am almost there.
Thanks
