Implement INotifyPropertyChanged on data types

The types generated are not implementing INotifyPropertyChanged. Example on .net:

public partial class MyEntity : ... System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged {
        ...
        [System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
        public bool MyProperty {
            get {
                return this.MyPropertyField;
            }
            set {
                if ((this.MyPropertyField.Equals(value) != true)) {
                    this.MyPropertyField = value;
                    this.RaisePropertyChanged("MyPropertyField");
                }
            }
        }
        ...
        public event System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        
        protected void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName) {
            System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventHandler propertyChanged = this.PropertyChanged;
            if ((propertyChanged != null)) {
                propertyChanged(this, new System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
            }
        }

Currently this is generated in a netstandard2.0 project:

public partial class MyEntity
{
        ...
        [System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
        public bool MyProperty
        {
            get
            {
                return this.MyPropertyField;
            }
            set
            {
                this.MyPropertyField= value;
            }
        }

Closing since this is supported by dotnet-svcutil. This doesn’t seem like a very common scenario so I don’t think we need to add this to the WCF Web Service Reference Provider UI.

If there’s a reason you need to use the UI instead of dotnet-svcutil you can get it to generate with this by adding the service reference normally, modifying the the ConnectedService.json file to add the option, then updating the service reference. The line you need to add to the json file is:

“enableDataBinding”: true,

Please add an ‘Implement INotifyPropertyChanged’ checkbox in the UI. INotifyPropertyChanged isn’t only for data binding.

A UI option will help people who are porting applications to .NET Core.
