The following error occurs whenthe client code running in CF 3.5 on a windows mobile 6.5 device tries to call our wcf service... before it ever even makes the call.
What is odd is that the exception DOES NOT occur when running under the debugger in VS and the phone is connected to the PC via the USB cable... The call works as expected.. data goes back and forth as it is supposed to...
But when running on its own, the CFClientBase code generates the following Stackoverflow Exception ??
This happens for all service calls, not just the one... Any Ideas ?

Edit
It appears that even though I am using DTOs to serialize across the wire... Somehow my EF Entity Classes are being sent in the schema ??
And for some reason those types are trying to be constructed when the service calls are made ??
How do I keep the classes out of the schema ? If there is a reference to the namespace of the Entities is that enough for WCF to pull those classes into the schema ?
