Folks, I've been trying to find a way to load my WCF service configuration (that huge BLOB of XML config data) from an alternate source - not the standard web.config / app.config. We're running in a restricted environment where we don't have access to the server's file system, and thus we cannot make tweaks and changes to our WCF conf...
Folks, TIBCO has announced support for WCF channels back in April - has anything of that materialized by now?? Where and how can I download either these new WCF channel bits, or where can I get my hands on a current .NET 2.0/3.5 version of the "TIBCO.EMS .NET client library" ?? We're a small ISV without any ties to TIBCO so far, but ...
If you call a web service from Silverlight like this: MyServiceClient serviceClient = new MyServiceClient(); void MyMethod() { serviceClient.GetDataCompleted += new EventHandler<GetDataCompletedEventArgs>(serviceClient_GetDataCompleted); serviceClient.GetDataAsync(); // HOW DO I WAIT/JOIN HERE ON THE ASYNC CALL, RATHER THAN BEING...
I've got a Visual Studio 2008 solution with a WCF service, and a client. When I run my client, and call a method from my service I get a message saying "Unable to automatically debug 'Home.Service'. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server." I've googled around...
The application that I'm designing will retrieve and store content from a variety of disparate sources on a schedule. In some cases, the content will be retrieved based on a time interval (think stock quotes), and in other cases the content will be retrieved based on a custom schedule (MWF @ 2pm). Many of the processes lend themselves ...
I have a WCF Service that should not enter the faulted state. If there's an exception, it should be logged and the service should continue uninterrupted. The service has a one-way operation contract and is reading messages from an MSMQ. My problems are twofold: The service appears to be swallowing an exception/fault so I am unable to ...
I am building a Web service using WCF as a way to provide access to data within my VB.Net application. When building web services hosted on IIS, there is a helpful test page as part of the service that allows the webservice to be invoked with parameters there and then. It's very helpful for testing. Is there a way to configure a WCF ho...
I'm testing the basics for exchanging rest messages between a asp.net mvc site and a WCF 3.5 service. The service is built using the template found in the WCF REST Starter Kit found on codeplex. I would like to exchange json messages using jquery. The REST Singleton service is working properly and it also provide examples of all the poss...
I've got a WCF service as middle tier, and on some occasions I need to create a printable document, store it for future reference in the database, and return it to the client. My first choice as file format was XPS, so I'd like to create an XPS document in a WCF service, store it, and return it. Is there an easy way to achieve this, or...
In my WPF app, I call a WCF service to retrieve my business object. I take that business object and bind it to a grid. I want to now apply the INotifyPropertyChanged attribute, but am unsure if it would work from WCF. My ultimate goal is to be able to edit items in a grid, click update and push those back through a WCF service. ...
I am developing a server application using WCF to expose WebService endpoints for clients. I want to implement authentication through a simple custom provider that will use the username and password passed through the SOAP headers. I know how to set the user name and password to be sent on the client, I just want to know how to pull the ...
Hi, I'm working on a windows forms client server app. It uses client application services with a login form that implements IClientFormsAuthenticationCredentialsProvider and this is called using membership.validateuser(nothing, nothing) to authenticate user. What I want to confirm either way is if this method encrypts the credentials pas...
I have a WCF service with the following configuration: <system.serviceModel> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="MetadataEnabled"> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" /> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" /> </behavior> </serviceBe...
Hi, I'm using WCF and want to upload a large file from the client to the server. I have investigated and decided to follow the chunking approach outlined at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa717050.aspx However, this approach (just like streaming) restricts the contract to limited method signitures: [OperationContract(IsOneWay...
I'm fooling around with WCF, and would like to see how many messages I send/receive, and how large these messages are. I tried activated WCF tracing, and ended up with a real huge trace file, but I found no way to extract the simple message size from this. There sure must be some way to get this? Maybe I missed some parameters in traci...

We have the forms populated fine but are having some issues with sending updates back to the web service. We have determined that it is not great practice to ...

For this WCF service I have developed, I have to set MaxReceivedMessageSize to 5MB. My current problem is figuring out whether it is better to have a larger MaxBufferPoolSize value, like 5MB, or retain the original 512KB value. Does anyone knows what is the recommended setting for this scenario? In short, should I set MaxBufferPoolSize ...
I've heard some people saying that enums are evil and shouldn't be used in web services because of the mismatches that could occur between the server and the client if some values are assigned, or if the enum is marked with the Flags attribute. They also said that web services exposing enums are harder to maintain but couldn't really giv...
