Enum values are not shown properly in generated wsdl file. Why?

Question

I am trying to find out how WSDL is generated when I'm opening link like "myservice.com/myservice.svc?singleWsdl". The problem is that I have language enum in my code and some values are missing from wsdl file. If do like this:

     _
    Hebrew = 73

     _
    Hiri_Motu = 75

     _
    Croatian = 76

     _
    Haitian = 77

Then I've got this in generated WSDL file:

So a lot of languages miss their EnumerationValue. I was able to find out that this problem occurs because of missing "74" value. I don't want either insert some dummy value or shift all the values after "73", maybe any ideas how can I fix it?

PS: this works fine:

  _
        Hebrew = 73

         _
        Hiri_Motu = 74

         _
        Croatian = 75

         _
        Haitian = 76

Result:

Full enum:

In WCF, enumerations are generally used by member names, not by the numerical enum value. You can force specific values through EnumMember(value:=""). Or you can specify

to use 'old' xml serializer.

The enum serializer tends to auto-complete the enum. Example:


Public Enum TheEnum As Integer

  value_1 = 1

  value_2 = 2

  value_3_1  

  value_3_2  

  value_3_3  

  value_4 = 4

  value_5  

  value_0 = 0
End Enum

Will give you this values:

value_1: 1
value_2: 2
value_3_1: 3
value_3_2: 4
value_3_3: 5
value_4: 4
value_5: 5
value_0: 0

So we can say that these value nodes, are 'fillings the gaps' between explicit nodes' values. And, in these cases, max and '0' values, may be confussed it if they're on the top of the Enum. Only try this:

Put:

  _
    LookUp = 9999

  _
Unknown = 0

At the END of the Enum, and try again.

Enum values are not shown properly in generated wsdl file. Why?
