The custom collection type is not reused for the WCF client.

Question

In the class library project, I defined the following type.

[CollectionDataContract()]
   public class OperationException:System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string,ExceptionData>
    {
       [DataMember()]
       public bool ExceptionExists { get; set; }
    }

   [DataContract()]
   public class ExceptionData {[DataMember()] public string Msg;}

At the end of my WCF service, I return an object that contains the above class as a child variable like this.

[DataContract()]
public class SaveClient
{
  [DataMember()]
   public string Id;
  [DataMember()]
   public OperationException ExceptionCollection;
}

I have an OperationException class library pointed at the client side. The problem is that when I create a proxy server using the Add Service Reference, a new OperationException definition is generated for the type dictionary. I have a Reuse Types parameter set to true. I like to use Actual 'OperationException', because I have to pass this object to other methods.

Thanks at Advance ..!
