My WCF Webservice uses the new System.AddIn namespace to support addins.

I want to expose the class returned by every add-in to my webservice. I believe lots of people would want to do this!

There are some obstacles;
  • *The class returned to the host is derived from the abstract view class.
  • *The webservice contract needs a class, right, an abstract class or interface as parameter or return type is not allowed.
  • *And the class in question is the host view adapter, which should not be referenced (to keep the independent versioning intact)
  • There will be thousands of objects in an hierarchical array so creating a new object of each would impact performance :(
Help!
