In this video we will discuss the use of ExtensionDataObject. Use IExtensibleDataObject to preserve unknown elements during serialization and deserialization of DataContracts. On the service side, at the time of deserialization the unknown elements from the client are stored in ExtensionDataObject. To send data to the client, the service has to serialize data into XML. During this serialization process the data from ExtensionDataObject is serialized into XML as it was provided at the time of service call.
