Are you saying that the "Company Way" is to use the service helper, and that it internally creates a proxy based on ChannelFactory - or, do you want to create your own proxy class the long way. Would this work for you? An extension method on ServiceHelper would let you stay using the company way, but would not require the ServiceHelper to be changed to know about your request/response messages or anything they contain.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
