WCF call needs to receive a GENERIC param that can receive a list of different “Types”
What is the recommended way to provide a WCF call that has a "Generic" param... something like this.
[ServiceContract]
public interface IDbSync
{
[OperationContract]
void UploadTable(Data<T> table);
}
...where one client might upload Data<User_Entity>, another client might upload Data<Address_Entity>
...all using the same procedure call
Is this possible with Generics or am I supposed to create one OperationContract x List ??

It is not possible to have a method that takes an open generic type. You can have methods that take a closed generic type.
If you want to have overloading in your WCF methods you should make sure that the operation name is unique (by using the [OperationContract(Name=...)] attribute)
