No worries Jason! :-)

# re: A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'XXX'

To avoid this kind of error, you need to select each columns individually as follows.

var result = (from p in sqlD.Tracks

                                 where (p.Title.Contains(Request["searchText"].ToString())  || p.Tags.Contains(Request["searchText"].ToString()) || p.Description.Contains(Request["searchText"].ToString()))

                                 && p.Status == true

                                 orderby p.CreateDate descending

                                 select new

                                 {

                                     TrackId = p.ID,

                                     TrackTitle = p.Title,

                                     TrackDesc = p.Description,

                                     TrackTags = p.Tags,

                                     TrackPrice = p.Price,

                                     TrackPhoto = p.TrackPhoto

                                 }

                                  ).ToList();

                   return "{\"Table\" : " + result.ToJson() + "};";

I hope this will help you.

Thanks

Or, select all and then give a NULL value to those properties, they will not pass along in the xml/soap message, as if they didnt exist :P, but im going to try the Friends one too

I think you guys mean "internal". The term "friend" is not used in the linked article.
