How to handle 30 request using single wcf operation?

I am bit stuck somewhere while designing my solution and therefore need your expertise and suggestions.

The problem is: I have 30 type of requests each having different parameters therefore i am treating these 30 request as 30 different request input but response is same for all request types.

Now I need to create one operation inside my existing wcf service which can cater all 30 types of requests.

I am not getting how to cater this within single operation. I dont want to create the 30 operations to handle the request individually.

If your request types all derive from the same type you can expose them polymorphically using the ServiceKnownTypes attribute:

[DataContract]
[KnownType(typeof(RequestFromThisGuy))]
[KnownType(typeof(RequestFromThisOtherGuy))]
public class UberRequest
{
    ...
}

[DataContract]
public class RequestFromThisGuy: UberRequest
{
    ...
}

[DataContract]
public class RequestFromThisOtherGuy: UberRequest
{
    ...
}

Then your service operation:

[OperationContract]
CommonResponseType DoSomething (UberRequest request)
