| There seems to be a known bug / issue in Visual Studio 2010 RC when dealing with Service References (to a WCF Service). The Collection Type of the Service Reference is set to custom and you start getting compilation errors like: Cannot implicitly convert type ‘SomeType[]‘ to ‘System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection<[Namespace].SomeType>’ |
 |
To get rid of this annoying error, just choose Configure Service Reference and select either Array or follow on of the instructions which are described here. I decided to use the ExtensionMethod way..
As confirmed by one of the Microsoft Product guys, this bug is killed in the final Version of Visual Studio 2010 – which should have been released yesterday .. according to rumors the RTM is detailed..

Well, this would be good if the link to the solution worked.
