Hello, I am creating a WCF service hosted within IIS7 on Windows Vista SP1. I am getting the following error: The certificate 'CN=SignedByLocalHost' must have a private key that is capable of key exchange. The process must have access rights for the private key. It looks like I would need to give the host process assess to the certif...
This one has us all baffled at work. We have two services running on .net 3.5 SP1 that hits up sharepoint, and return Lists of model objects that are pretty similar. One of them works fine, the other throws an EngineExecutionException on the return. I know that is sort of vague, but everything executes fine right up until that point. Wh...
Let's say that I'm considering designing a WCF service whose primary purpose is to provide broad services that can be used by three disparate applications: a public-facing Web site, an internal Windows Forms application, and a wireless mobile device. The purpose of the service is twofold: (1) to consolidate code related to business proce...
What do I need to allow Visual Studio 2005 to add WCF service reference to a project? I know I should just use Visual Studio 2008, but I'm preparing for a "what-if" situation where the client does not have VS2008 just yet. ...
Hi, I have a client application that once in while notifies about its progress a service. The method call to the service is marked with IsOneWay=true, because the notification doesn't need any return value and I don't want to delay. The client may notify about errors to the service, and afterward it terminates. The question is: does ...
With ASP.NET MVC, it is common to have AJAX code(e.g. jQuery) to invoke web service from server to without page refreshing. It's natural to make web service RESTful. It seems that there are two ways to go. First, the ASP.NET MVC URI's are RESTful, it is very easy to make some Controller/Action to act as web service method. Second, WCF ca...
I'm having an issue with an ObservableCollection getting new items but not reflecting those changes in a ListView. I have enough quirks in the way I'm implementing this that I'm having a hard time determining what the problem is. My ObservableCollection is implemented thusly: public class MessageList : ObservableCollection<LobbyMessag...
I'm writing C# winform and asp.net apps that talk to a sql server through a WCF service. I want to avoid creating my own user management system and would like to use an existing component/technology that can create/delete/manage users and roles. What would you recommend? Note: I'm aware of Geneva framework but RTM for that is second ha...
What is the difference between them? When would I opt for one over the other? ...
I've added a proxy to a webservice to a VS2008/.NET 3.5 solution. When constructing the client .NET throws this error: Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'IMySOAPWebService' in the service model client configuaration section. This might be because no configuaration file was found for your app...
I'm running into a problem when modifying a WCF service. The original service method looks like this: [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true, IsInitiating = true, IsTerminating = false)] void Login(string userName, string password); This method works. The problem is that when I change it to this: [OperationContract(IsOneWay = false, Is...
Hi, this is a more "can it be done" rather than a "how is it done" question. I'm looking at building a service (middle tier, .net, providing data abstraction and some business logic) that will be used by multiple internal client systems on different platforms. E.g. one client might be a web site, another client some java code, another ...
Using WCF Web Programming model one can specify an operation contract like so ... [OperationContract] [WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate = "SomeRequest?qs1={qs1}&qs2={qs2}")] XElement SomeRequest1(string qs1, string qs2); Now if we had to make a contract that acce...
I have installed Visual Studio 2008 and patch it with SP1. However, I cannot find the "AJAX-enabled WCF Service" in my New Project dialog. Does any more patches should be added to make the "AJAX-enabled WCF Service" template appear? ...
In my knowledge, the RESTful WCF still has ".svc" in its URL. For example, if the service interface is like [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/Value/{value}")] string GetDataStr(string value); The access URI is like "http://machinename/Service.svc/Value/2". In my understanding, part of REST advantage is that it can hide the ...
I would like to get Binding object from web.config or app.config. So, this code works: wcfTestClient = new TestServiceClient("my_endpoint", Url + "/TestService.svc"); but I would like to do the following: Binding binding = DoSomething(); wcfTestClient = new TestServiceClient(binding, Url + "/TestService.svc"); I am interested in D...
How can I make Visual Studio 2005 call a WCF service? ...
I have a simple WCF service that I'm exposing using a .svc. The service has some related DataContract classes that are used with the ServiceContracts. When calling a method that gets some data, the json that comes back has all the properties just as you'd expect. My question is how can I get a new instance of one of these DataContract ...
I'm looking for a way to create a data access layer that can either reside on a server and be accessed via WCF services or can reside on the local machine in which case it would just be accessed directly without having to run through iis. Is there a way to abstract this in such a way that changing from the local to the WCF version can be...
Hi, Is it best practice to wrap a web service method/call into a try/catch block? I dont' the web service request to be the reason why the .net desktop application crashes, so I was thinking all calls should be wrapped in try/catch to prevent this. Good idea? Also, should it throw an exception to or just have an empty catch? ...
