In my earlier blog, I wrote about Other Contracts. Please refer this link Contracts in WCF
Here we will learn about Data Contract.
It is used to define the data which will be exchanged between client and server.
A simple Data Contract with Data Member will look like this.

[DataContract]

public class Product

{

    private int _ProductID;

    private string _ProductName;

   

    [DataMember]

    public string PName

    {

        get { return _ProductName; }

        set { _ProductName = value; }

    }

    public int PID

    {

        get { return _ProductID; }

        set { _ProductID = value; }

    }

}

In next blog, I will explain about DataContract Serialization.
