Hi, I currently use a custom gzip encoder for my WCF service. I want to replace it with the built-in IIS 7 compression if that is possible. I can't find info online on how to that. Is there any way to enable IIS 7 compression for WCF services? Do you know if this will be supported out-of-the-box with .Net 4? Edit June 15th: I'm still...

I'm writing a WCF service which will be used to receive big files (mp3 files and others), process them and then return an mp3 audio file. I don't want to save those files in the filesystem, I'd just like to process them, and then return an audio file. the problem is I'd like the process to use as low memory as possible. how would I acco...
I created a very simple WCF and deployed it to the hosting provider by doing a "Copy Website". Locally, it's setup to use the development server (not in IIS). The domain is under Full trust permissions. Locally, I can get to the Service.svc page, but not in the hosting provider. The code is as follows: Service.svc <%@ ServiceHost Lang...
I'm in deep trouble because I wrote a POX service w/ WCF and WebInovke and specified the input type as XElement because we need several different types of data coming into.

How do I get a WCF client to process server responses which have been GZipped or Deflated by IIS? On IIS, I've followed the instructions here on how to make IIS 6 gzip all responses (where the request contained "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate") emitted by .svc wcf services. On the client, I've followed the instructions here and here on...
I have a WCF web service that works perfectly with an http address, but since then I've needed to make sure it works over https. Because I am using IIS 7, the process was pretty easy to get the web site https binding up and running using this guide here I opened up a browser, and got the usual security prompts, but everything worked f...
Hi There, I have a WCF service written. I want it to pick up some "global settings" upon startup. The WCF service will run under IIS. Here's how I am doing it, but I want to make sure this is the correct way. Can an expert comment? I put the relevant data in web.config. Now I don't believe I can access this in my WCF class as suc...
I am having a very frustrating problem with the WCF test client. When I build my WCF service locally and debug I am able to test it in the test client app. However, when I make a change, sometimes even completely removing a service method, it absolutely will not refresh. It's like it's caching a copy of the service somewhere. I have trie...
Really thought I had this issue fixed, but it was only disguised before. I have a WCF service hosted in IIS 7 using HTTPS. When I browse to this site in internet explorer, it works like a charm, this is because I HAVE added the certificate to the local root certificate authority store. I'm developing on 1 machine, so client and serve...
We've got a smart client that talks to a SQL Server database via WCF, displaying the entities in the database, and allowing the user to edit those entities. Some of the WCF calls return a large data set. Since this data set doesn't change very often, I'm considering some sort of write-through cache on the client, and only getting the de...
I'm currently using Castle-Windsor with the WCF Facility to inject all my WCF services. I've just started adding permission requirements using a custom IAuthorizationPolicy, which seems to work when done on a per-method basis on the service, but when the service class itself is marked up with the requirements, I get an exception thrown. ...
