I have a list with 2 text fields, and a choice field. How do I use the Lists.asmx web service to insert a new item? I can make a web reference to the lists.asmx service, so you can assume that this is known. I would like a complete example including code and the XML for the CAML query. Ideally the sample would use C#. ...

My particular use case is using the wsimport goal (which basically maps to the jaxws wsimport.sh tool) to generate java code from wsdl. Looking for ideas on how others have integrated this goal into their development cycle. ie. do you generate all the interfaces only once and check it in. Where do you store the actual wsdl and any xsd...
I have created a web reference (Add Web Reference) from Visual Studio 2008 and strangely, I need to set the propertyNameFieldSpecified to true for all the fields I want to submit. Failure to do that and values are not passed back to the WCF Service. I have read at several places that this was fixed in the RTM version of Visual Studio. ...
I need to install some .NET software on several PC's. This software needs to check each time it is restarted to see if a newer version exists on the server. The end users will have basic user rights and therefore cannot copy files to the 'Program Files' directory. If a newer version exists, the application closes, an updater program c...
What are some guidelines for factoring of web services? On one extreme you have different procedures for every operation, and expose all types through WSDL. This seems to result in the WS interface changing as often as the business logic. On the other, a generic interface where the types and validation are performed a layer down from ...
A similar question has been asked: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42466/msdn-subscriptions-on-the-cheap, but I am not interested in the solutions provided: I am not developing a product for sale, I am starting up a consulting company, so Empower is not an option. I have visited the links to MS regarding MSDN subscriptions and the...
I am in the process of translating an application into various languages, and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with any translation services, and I'm not talking about Google Translate. :) Are there any that specialize more in the tech area, as opposed to just general translation? ...
Our Web application uses the ASP.Net AJAX Authentication Services to perform login/logout. Everything works great if the login/logout actions are initiated from client side via JavaScript. Question: When the session times out how do I call the AuthenticationService.Logout function from the SessionEnd event? Looking for a simple clean...
Where do I find a directory where a lot of APIs or Webservices are collected? I'd like to generate a Web Site getting its content from different services, but I assume that spidering together the content is not legal (e.g. getting the latest financial data from finance.yahoo.com). So I would like to have a list of APIs and WebServices (...
We have a service that runs methods used for data import/export at specified intervals. To test these methods we have a little application with a single button that, when clicked, instantiates the import/export class and invokes the desired method. Nothing fancy. I would like create a more robust test application that can receive debu...

Supports some basic response checking (beyond initial connection checking). Basic dashboard overview of health status. Alert notifications via e-mail. I could roll my own, but want t...
I receive an error message when exposing an ADO.NET Data Service using an Entity Framework data model that contains an entity (called "Case") with an internal setter on a property. If I modify the setter to be public (using the entity designer), the data services works fine. I don’t need the entity "Case" exposed in the data service, so...
We have encountered a very strange situation when we deployed an application at a customer site. This application is implemented as a service using C# on .NET 3. The application communicates with a web service that is written using gSOAP. In our .NET application, the classes that wrap the web service were created by performing "Add Servi...

When I believed in American dream about encapsulation and polymorphism, intrusion of Web Services washed my objects off with RPC calls... When I cherished my resurrected PONOs, ugly army of barbarians called proxy objects conquered my lands... Later, peace seemed to come back with DDD and NHibernate on the server side, but the SilverLi...
When working with WCF services, is it better to create a new instance of the service every time you use it? Or is it better to create one and re-use it? Why is either approach better? Is it the same for asynchronous proxies? ...
I've got a windows service that has a part I'm very paranoid about, so I've instrumented it with custom performance counters (I'm moving calls from mta threads to sta threads--don't ask). The counters and the configuration section have been tested and are known to work... on my machine, but they aren't appearing on the server I instal...
