svcutil for Xml Serialization

See original GitHub issue

Anything on the roadmap for WCF Connected Services to have a svcutil.exe /t:xmlSerializer type option to generate XmlSerializer serialization code instead of doing it at runtime?

We’ve updated our SOAP library with dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer package, and so far everything looks great. At run time the pregenerated XmlSerializers is used, which gets us a huge start up time increase.

If anyone is packaging this up into a nuget package we used <BuildOutputInPackage Include="$(OutputPath)$(AssemblyName).XmlSerializers.dll" /> to get the *.XmlSerializers.dll to be included along with the main project output.

Complete *.csproj as example.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworks>netstandard2.0</TargetFrameworks>
    <TargetsForTfmSpecificBuildOutput>$(TargetsForTfmSpecificBuildOutput);IncludeXmlSerializers</TargetsForTfmSpecificBuildOutput>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer" Version="1.0.0-preview1" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.ServiceModel.Duplex" Version="4.4.*" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.ServiceModel.Http" Version="4.5.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.ServiceModel.NetTcp" Version="4.4.*" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.ServiceModel.Security" Version="4.4.*" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer" Version="1.0.0-preview1" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <Target Name="IncludeXmlSerializers">
    <ItemGroup>
      <BuildOutputInPackage Include="$(OutputPath)$(AssemblyName).XmlSerializers.dll" />
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>
</Project>

I am happy to announce that we just had an XmlSerializer pre-generator tool for WCF, named dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer released today. Please see details and instructions in the announcement. The NuGet package can be found at https://www.nuget.org/packages/dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer/.

We will appreciate any feedback you may share with us.
