I have a server that needs to keep a small number of clients in sync. Whenever there is a change of state at the server, all the connected clients must be informed. I am planning to use a “callback contract”, I can get hold of the callback reference for each client on the server by using GetCallbackChanel(). I then need to manage...

Hi, I was wondering how people are handling the lack of Enum support in Entity Framework when dealing with WCF services? Common practice seems to be to declare getter & setter in the entity property to private and then create a partial class for the entity and declare the enum property in there. This is all fine and dandy but pos...

Suppose when i click on the tree item to call one service call. But in the server side it is called two times. And this is happening for one perticuler service only. I have checked all the param...
In WCF maxConcurrentSessions defaults to 10, so limiting a server from having more then 10 open TCP connections to it. Why is this so? Is it safe for me just to set it to a very high value for a server that has a "handful" (or two) of clients, but needs to keeps a netTcpBinding open for each clients due to sending events to the clients...
I am writing a WCF (netTcpBinding planned at present) client/server application that has to support a “handful” of clients including sending events to the clients. I do not wish the server to block while the clients process the events. Logically I cannot see match difference between marking the callback methods as “OneWay” or cal...
Hi Guys to facilitate lazy loading on our WCF Services that use AR I created a "Session Scope PerRequest" solution for WCF. [edit] Ok so I put the question on the end :) so bear with me and start reading at the end. :) [/edit] If you want to use ActiveRecord in a website or webservice you have to tell it via the configuration it is run...
This starter kit seems to use incredibly ugly URIs that include a "Service.svc" filename. Surely if you're going to have a service called say "Users.svc" you'd want the URI to look like '/users/' rather than '/Users.svc/'? Is there a way this can be fixed? ...
I am in the process of porting some .net remoting code to WCF. Can I safely assume that all classes that are Serializable and works as .remoting method parameters will work with WCF using the binary message encode? If not is there a “rule of thumb” that I can use to estimate what problems I will hit? ...
I'm trying to get WCF working with Silverlight. I'm a total beginner to WCF but have written asmx services in the past. For some reason when I uncomment more than one method in my service Silverlight refuses to let me use it, saying it is invalid. My code is below if anyone could help. I'm using the Entity Framework if that makes a diffe...

I am using .NET 3.5SP1 and DataContractSerializer to serialize a class. In SP1, they changed the behavior so that you don't have to include DataContract/DataMember attributes on the class and it will just serialize the entire thing. This is the behavior I am using, but now I need to ignore one property from the serializer. I know that...
Hi, I'm trying to self-host a WCF web service and provide a HTTP endpoint with ajax support. Pretty much everything I've found about WCF and AJAX are talking about IIS, which I don't want to use. I've build a simple Console App to host the service. My service only have a single method: [ServiceContract] interface IMyService { [Op...
