Hi
I'm looking at ways to get my Adapter .NET 3.0 WCF Application to send less xml data over the wire. Apart from the obvious (turning objectsIds off, setting fastserialization to true, making less calls, sending less entities), is there anything I should be doing?
One thing that's occurred to me is that if I didn't use such verbose names for properties and entities, the resulting xml would be much smaller, and the application would thus run faster.
Obviously I could just go and rename everything so that each entity class name and property name is as short as possible. But before I do that, is there a way of giving properties and classes an 'xml alias', i.e. "Cust" instead "Customer" when serializing to xml? If there isn't, could I request it as a feature?
Or perhaps using some sort of compression would deliver greater benefit for less effort?
Thanks, Stephen
