I have a WCF service running as a Windows service on intranet and I need to check that users accessing the service belong to certain AD functional groups. That is quite straightforward.

I am attempting to consume an intranet web service with WCF. I added reference to the service via the Add Service Reference feature in VS2008.

I'm using the WCF RIA Services Beta with Silverlight 3.0 and I want to be able to configure the timeout from the client.

I have a WCF service hosted as a Windows service. The WCF service uses msmq queue on the same server. When the server is restarted my WCF service starts before the msmq service.
