Hi All, I have a windows service that exposes a TCP connection (using WCF). This service starts and works fine on my machine (which uses windows firewall). My colleagues are using mcafee security software (which includes a firewall). When they start the windows service it works some of the time, but the rest of the time the service tim...
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...
Is it possible to catch exceptions in a single place in a c# class file? I'm coding some unit tests in NUnit to test for a WCF Web-Service, and on all methods/tests want to trap a "EndpointNotFoundException" without having to code this for each test. edit I guess i wanted to create a descriptive error in this case without having to pu...
Hello, I'm trying to write an extension that will allow me, for each and every WCF operation I run, if it returns with a timeout error, to start a new proxy and try again (once). I know that Michelle Leroux Bustamante wrote a code-gen'ed proxy that does the same, but I'm trying to do this without having to modify or replace the service ...
Hi all, Recently I've been working on a WCF app and needs some functionalities to compress the soap message body, so that the size of response from service should be reduced. After some research, I found an implementation available online from http://weblogs.asp.net/cibrax/archive/2006/03/29/WS%5F2D00%5FCompression-for-WCF.aspx the ...
We have a WCF service that is used for querying an underlying data store (SQL Server 2005 right now). This service may return rather large amounts of data; 60000+ instances of our entity class that contains ~20 properties. The properties are mostly primitives such as string, int, DateTime with a couple pointing at other entities that may...
Hi, using the IRepository pattern is really convenient in a single tier app (web app, rich client), but how to use this pattern in a distributed application? I should probably implement an IRepository, which will delegate everything to the server (probably using WCF) anyone has any experience in this? thanks in advance, Erik. ...
Hi! I know this question is been asked before here but still I'm not sure what to select. My service will be called from many 3 party system in the enterprise. I'm almost sure the information the service will collect (MyBigClassWithAllInfo) will change during the products lifetime. Is it still a good idea to expose objects? This is b...
Hi, There's a requirement to persist messages that are generated between a WCF client and a WSE 2.0 web service. Since the web service is hosted by a third-party, could i implement a solution where the WCF client persists messages to msmq and have the windows service poll the queue intermittently for requests to be sent on the WSE 2.0 w...

I am using C#/WCF. I have a web service which shall be invoked by the client. This is the service definition: And this is the binding If I understand this correctly, the messages sent from server to client are encrypted with a certificate. Currently I ...
Hello, I'm quite a heavy user of WCF and ADO.NET data services. I use them a lot in links between different systems. Now sometimes I would update one side of such a link and forget another side. The other side will crash and most of the times give a pretty useless error about some type being not found or something like that. Is it pos...
I am getting this error only on one test server but the code works on other servers as well as my dev machine. Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1). error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.MessageHeaderMessageId?' to 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.MessageHeaderxxxCode?'. An explicit conversion exists (are yo...

Hi, I received callback interface from machine A and stored it on machine B. I'd like to pass this callback interface (that is a proxy on machine B) to machine C. Machines A, B and C uses WCF so proper interfaces are available. The issue is when I run PassCallbackToDedicatedMachine(someCallback) method I receive exception like below...
I am looking for some best practices on how to handle the following scenario - flowing permissions from WCF service layer through to UI: I have WCF services with methods that have been decorated with the PrincipalPermission attribute. I would like a means to allow a client to check if they have the required permissions before invoking t...
I have a WCF Webservice hosted in IIS. It uses a webHttpBinding. There are WebInvoke attributes on the methods so that they can be access REST style. I can successfully use them like so: http://mydomain.com/MyService.svc/some/rest/style/thing and POST to that the arguments to the web service. Now I want to change this to HTTPS over a...
Is there some uniform way I can implement behavior that occurs around a set of WCF service calls? I'm looking for a simple way to handle cross-cutting behavior like logging, initialization, error handling, authorization etc. With ASP.NET a lot of this is easy to implement as an HTTPModule. Any helpful suggestions? ...
