WCF streaming with more parameters

Question

I have succeeded to send my data to the service and from the service by making a data contract classes and putting inside as members, all the attributes I needed. I did like so:

[DataContract]
public class DataToSend{
[DataMember(Name="model")]
public MyData data;
[DataContract(Name="id")]
public string id;
}

and this is working for sending/ receiving usual data using json format. Now I want to send attachments as Stream, but id as well, to know where should I insert the attachments in a database. I've succeeded to make it work only with the Stream as input but I can't make it work with the id. I've tried to add it in the UriTemplate but that won't work.

Anyone has any idea on how I could handle this ? Thank you.

Basically, you just can't have any other parameter than Stream in your contract (ty WCF).

What can you do to solve this is to create a model as a MessageContract that will have a set of properties and accept one of them as a Stream.
