Whew! Ok… I solved my Wcf / Linq errors (and learned a lot – a series of blog posts will follow next weak). Now I need to deploy. We run on the Mosso / Rackspace cloud, and for the moment that environment runs in a partial trust environment. To make it simple, I added a method to my Wcf service that does just about NOTHING. public str...
I want to user netTCPbinding for that I changed my web config as below : <services> <service name="DXDirectory.DXDirectoryService" behaviorConfiguration="DXDirectory.Service1Behavior"> <!-- Service Endpoints --> <endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBindi...
I have an application where client and server share types, and interoperability is not one of our concerns. I am planning to have a single repository for all web enabled objects, and i was thinking of a generic interface for my exposed service. something like T GetObject(int id) but wcf doesnt like it since its trying to expose its sch...
I am using IIS V5.1. Integrated windows authentication I have a following web config: <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <wsHttpBinding> <binding name="wsHttpEndpointBinding"> <security mode="Transport" /> </binding> </wsHttpBinding> </bindings> <services> <service behaviorConfigura...
Hi, WCF service has one method ( Let's say TestMethod) in which I try to create a File Stream like this : System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(@"D:\Test.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open); My Client and Service is on the same solution. When the Client makes a call to TestMethod ( Exposed in Web service ) it wil...
Hello, i built a service with a custom operation selector, the selector simply looks at a specific element in the message body ( and ignores the action) to specify which method to call on a contract. This works fine, and i can see that the server code is being invoked now, however the client throws an exception saying that the action o...
In a previous thread one of the respondents said that using wsHttpBinding used a session. Since I'm working in a clustered IIS environment, should I disable this? As far as I know, sessions don't work in a cluster. If I need to disable this, how do I go about it? ...
I've got a WCF service hosted on my server. I've set up 2 seperate endpoints on the service, 1 wshttpbinding for communicating with .net 3.5 service references and 1 basichttpbinding for commuicating with all other web references. When i reference the service as a service reference in a .net 3.5 project everything works fine. The servic...
This is the configuration file while hosting the service, here i hosted service using ip 127.0.0.1:36345, here service is not accessible using netTcpBinding when i hosted the using the exact ip of server (192.168.1.47:36345) it works.. what could be possible reason and solution? <services> <service behaviorConfiguration="metadata...

I'm interested in knowing the different bandwidth and performance characteristics of the different WCF bindings (basicHttp, WSHttp, nettcp, etc.). Aside from writing a service and exposing the different endpoint bindings that we can call to exercise, how could I measure these metrics? In particular, I need to know how bandwidth and per...
I'm connecting to a webservice using WCF. I can authenticate on the server correctly, send my request, and get a signed response back. The only thing is that the body of the response isn't encrypted. Ok, I'm fine with that. It's not my service and not my call how they do things, I'm just writing a client. The issue is that WCF keeps gi...
I'm trying to host two WCF services in one application. I want them to share the same BaseAddress but have their own URLs something like: net.tcp://localhost:1234/service1 and net.tcp://localhost:1234/service2 The following config allows me to do that: <system.serviceModel> <services> <service name="VanillaWcf.Shared.MyServ...
I have a WCF service hosted in IIS7 with netTCP enabled. This is my web.config in %apppath%\ , where the SVC file is. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <system.serviceModel> <services> <service name="Search.Querier.WCF.Querier" behaviorConfiguration="SearcherServiceBehavior"> <host> <...
I have a set of Service Contracts which split up my service interface into chunks of related functionality. I am currently implementing all contracts using a single service class (may want to split these later but for now the single service class suffices). I am trying to use configure the endpoints using a config file (as opposed to vi...
Here is the web.config for my WCF endpoint: <services> <service behaviorConfiguration="SearchQueryServiceBehavior" name="Search.Querier.WCF.Querier"> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" name="mexHttpEndpoint" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> <endpoint binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfigura...
I'm developing WCF RESTful Services and looking for a testing tool/invoker for calling these services without writing client code. Can anybody refer me to a tool for invoking RESTful services especially services using the WCF WebHttpBinding? ...
Hello, I have a generic service which i can host in an exe and call from another .net app, but since web services on IIS are loaded on demand, i cant host it an web project. is there a way to tweak the wcf stack to read the url ( in which i can pass the type information) and invoke the service ? i tried using servicefactory, but its m...
I'm reviewing an applications WCF security, and one of the bindings is a custom binding to achieve compression. The other bindings are standard wshttpBindings using message level encryption using a server certificate.
