I need some advice on what's the best way to create WCF client proxy wrapper for ASP .NET client. I want to work equally well with ObjectDataSource control with no extra coding and also when I need to manually call WCF service to get some data. I basically have come up with two models, but I'd like to know which is is more efficient. He...
What you think about this approach: Fault helper: [Serializable] public class WcfHwServiceFault { private readonly Guid _guid; private readonly byte[] _data; private WcfHwServiceFault(Guid guid, byte[] data) { _guid = guid; _data = data; } public static WcfHwServiceFault Create(Exception ex) ...
A little background: I'm using the WCF REST Starter kit, and I'm creating a wrapper for a specific API I'm consuming. There are common query string parameters that I need to pass whenever I hit any of the exposed methods, such as an API key. To me, it would be easier to make such common parameters a part of the wrapper class. Then I cou...
Does the OneWay operations in WCF service execute as long as the operation is complete? By my experiment, I think there is no timeout. I was able to run an operation for half an hour. (I closed after that) Can someone experienced in WCF answer this? If there is a timeout, where can I specify it ...
We connect to a web service hosted by another company. We send a customer's basic info to the service, and it replies with rates/prices for that customer. I am a PHP guy -- started out playing with basic HTML, then delved into PHP about 8 years ago, and my entire web app is PHP with javascrtipt/ajax mixed in as needed. I'm a learn-as-...
A little question regarding Ninject. I use a WCF 'duplex channel' to communicate with a service. The channel is defined as an interface, lets call it IMyChannel for simplicity. To instantiate a channel we use DuplexChannelFactory<IMyChannel> object's CreateChannel() method. So far I have manage to bind the factory class with this. Bin...

Question 1 - Is there a way to see what data is marshalled on a wcf service call ? and given the following definitions Interface IX { List<string> list; Dictionary<string,MyType> dict; } Interface IY : IX { L...
I am relatively new to .Net and C# development and am having an issue decoupling WCF services from an app into a network DLL I am creating. The DLL's goal is to offer a simple way to host and access a service from a server and client application and to add some functionality to the basic service for heartbeat and automatic reconnection w...
I've got some somewhat old school web services that I need to talk to. They are somewhat REST-like, in that they are called with regular GET and POST HTTP requests, and return WDDX-formatted data in the response body. The consumer code in this instance is .NET. Ideally, I'd like to use WCF to take advantage of all of its magic. The stic...

My first attempt was to create an endpoint behavior, and implement the IEndpointBehavior.Validate method, implemented something like the following: void IEndpointBehavior.Validate(S...

They are using message security and client certificates. here is my app.config file..what I have so far. Any information on setting the sec...
When trying to create a web service proxy (WCF) using SVCUTIL.EXE (on command line or via Visual Studio) I get the below nonsensical error message. Note: There is nothing wrong with the service as it works on another machine just fine. It's a new install of Windows and the service is on my local box. Generating the same proxy on my mach...
I am working on a tool that will test the server of a Silverlight application. AFAIK, Silverlight uses WCF to communicate with the server. I am curious if here are any free tools out there that can enable to write test scripts that test the server via WCF, preferably in Java, Python, Ruby or anything that does not require .NET. ...

Hi, I have an existing web application that uses EF and POCO objects. I want to improve the client experience by exposing some of my objects through WCF(JSON). I have this working fine but where I am unsure is how to handle derived objects(not sure if that is the correct term) or IEnumerable anonymous objects if you will. Let's say I ...
