The generated proxy class SLsvcUtil.exe is not inherited from INotifyPropertyChanged

Question

I get a very nasty error when updating the "Service Reference" for the WCF web service when using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, so I switched to using SLsvcUtil.exe to create a client proxy for use in my Silverlight 3 application.

The problem is that I noticed that earlier, using the Add Service Link from Visual Studio, the generated classes would inherit from System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged, and those that were created using SLSvcUtil.exe do not work. Besides this difference, I like this approach in the Add Service Link dialog box in Visual Studio.

Question: is there a missing flag or something when running the command line tool? or even better ... is this approach to creating a proxy server good? I watched the dnrtV episode (show # 122), where Miguel Castro shows a completely different approach to creating proxies. Although I really like his approach, I work with an outdated application, which at the moment we do not have time to convert.

Thank you, and I really appreciate your comments on this.

I'm not very much used the SL version, but if you tried to add to her team /edb or /enableDataBinding ? (e.g. with svcutil.exe )? This parameter is shown on MSDN , so I expect it to work.
