I'm struggling to decide on a good way to structure my object model / web services in a webapp I'm working on. We have a common issue where different pages need a slightly different view of a standard object. For example, we have Team and an Organization types where an Organization can have one-to-many Teams. On one page all I need is...
Like the title says, we need to set up WCF services between a .NET app, and a Adobe AIR app. We don't want to run IIS on the machine, and would much prefer to install and run the WCF services hosted within a windows service. However, I am uncertain of doing that will let us use HTTP as the transport, of does that only work within IIS? I...
Hi there, Previously i managed to setup my unity to provide a new DataContext each time to my Repository project. It works great. But for example, I am in a WCF method which opens up 2 services which in turn opens up 2 repositories (repository pattern).. i was hoping to be able to reuse the same datacontext within the same wcf method....
Hi, Just wondering under what circumstances would you prefer to generate a proxy from a WCF service when you can just invoke calls using the ChannelFactory? This way you wont have to generate a proxy and worry about regenerating a proxy whne the server is updated? Thanks ...
I have a client that is pushing for all data access to go over SOAP web services. No, I don't know why; I guess they like to keep their processors warm with all the XML building and parsing. Anyway... I have to move an existing web app programmed using a DataProvider on Oracle to WCF. I haven't written the web service yet. Are their any ...
Hi there, I now have a scenario where I have 6 console apps on my server which each host a WCF service. It's getting messy and I am now thinking about having a windows app (probably WPF) which hosts each service in a separate thread. This would mean there's a central place to manage the services as well. I'm just wondering if anyone h...
I'm currently attemping to display the progress of an SSIS package that's running on the server by implementing a callback in WCF. This is working to a point; basically the OperationContext.Current is returning null after a few listener events have already happened (roughly 30 seconds after the initial SSIS package execute call). Here's...
Hi, I'm currently returning a stream from all my WebGet/WebInvoke decorated methods from WCF. And I also get a stream as input. I do this because I want flexibility with response & input content types. This is primarily because I need flexibility when parsing the input - it cannot be easily serialized / deserialized. However I then use...
I try to send a message to MSMQ using WCF. I want to use Transport security and sign messages. However, when I set clientcertificate credentials and try to send message, an error is being thrown: "An error occurred while sending to the queue: The user certificate is invalid. (-1072824276, 0xc00e002c)". Certificate is stored in LocalMachi...
I have a WCF Service library written in .NET 4.0. I have a WCF application (in order to host this service in IIS) within the same solution. It contains the WCF library assembly reference and a service.svc file pointing to the service from the library along with a web.config that is a replica of the WCF service library's app.config. The W...
Hi there, i'd like to create a windows service that would be accessible via WCF from a web application. The workflow would be: Windows Service starts and would hold a default value in memory. A web app would connect the windows service via wcf and take the value and after some processing set the value back in the memory. In a while wo...
Would there be any noticeable performance hit if MTOM is turned on for a WCF service that isn't actually transferring any binary over the wire? ...
I want to prepend the following text to the response body of a WCF operation: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="transform.xslt" type="text/xsl" ?> Problem is that the Message class uses XML Readers and Writers to specify the contents of the message. Inserting this text as the first line after the tag makes...
hello, i'm trying to understand how and if its possible to keep a session open on a wcf service. the problem is that if i select an entity and pass it to the client and than return it to the server with the same session, i get an exception cause session dont know this entity any more (the reference changed because of wcf). so i have t...
A problem with "Add Service Reference", and actually with SvcUtil over all its features. In order to reproduce you just need to add an OperationContract with argument or returning the following class : [XmlSchemaProvider("MySchema")] public class MyStructure : IXmlSerializable { private XmlElement e; private static void Func(ob...
Is there a simple command line switch or a trick to renaming the generated class name when running svcutil.exe to generate a client proxy? ...
see also "WCF push to client through firewall" I need to have a WCF client that connect to a WCF server, then when some of the data changes on the server the clients need to update its display. As there is likely to be a firewall between the clients and the server. All communications must be over HTTP The server can not make an...
[Update] - I attach also full config files, for service, and for client (outside of here, not to flood the topic) I'm having situation pretty much identical to the one outlined in this question, however my question is somewhat different. I'm using NetTcpBinding with security set to TransportWithMessageCredential I'm using Password/Use...
I am trying to write my first WCF project. I have created a project of type WCF library. In the video I am working from, when F5 is pressed (start debugger) the WCF test client starts up. What do I have to do to my project settings to get the WcfTestClient to start up? ...
I've finished writing a WCF service that uses TCP. It is meant to run on a Windows 2003 Server, which doesn't have WAS available, so I've written a Windows service to host my WCF service. It works great on my development machine. Now, how do I get these two services onto the Windows 2003 Server? Do I just copy the WCF service there a...
