WCF 服务引用作为数组与列表<T>

Question

We have an asp website with service references to a WCF project. We have set the configuration of the service collection type to System.Collection.Generic.List, yet the reference.cs is showing arrays. We can see

<CollectionMappings>
      <CollectionMapping TypeName="System.Collections.Generic.List`1" Category="List" />
</CollectionMappings>

in the reference.svcmap.

We would prefer to work with List if possible. What are we missing? Why is it insisting to build a reference full of arrays when it has been told to convert them to Lists?

Visual Studio 2019, asp.net 4.8

Answer 1

Set in the Add Service Reference tool:

Finally, apply this setting to generate a proxy class.

Answer 2

For those that run across this: It's actually an “undocumented feature” of visual studio... thank you Microsoft. When using the XML Serializer instead of the DataContract serializer, the service connection tool in visual studio doesn't create the classes as requested. You can manually alter the reference.cs, or move to webAPI using .net core.
