I like the idea of extending on the client side classes that are data contracts of WCF services using partial classes. But I encountered a problem that considerably spoils the party. Imagine on the server side I have a class: [DataContract] public class SolidObject { [DataMember] public Point Position { get; set; } [DataMem...
WCF service is running with 'wsHttpBinding' Binding. The application which gonna consume WCF Service is non-wcf compliance or in other words, it is on the top of Framework 2.0 and I can't use ServiceModel in this app (since only 3.5 supports ServiceModel). Any suggestions, how to consume above WCF Service in application built in 2.0? ...
I asked a question about deserializing based on an attribute with data contracts. Apparently this isnt possible so I have to convert my DataContract to use XmlElement's (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2177079/net-represent-xml-in-class-without-xsd) I'm assuming datacontracts cannot intermingle with xmlelements. How can I define...
I have a built a WCF web service against a pre-existing XSD schema which uses the XmlSerializer serializer. I would like to validate incoming requests and outgoing requests against this pre-existing schema. MSDN contains a worked example of how this can be accomplished using WCF MessageInspectors. The technique described involves creati...
So, I'm trying to make sense of WCF in general, and this MSDN chat client sample in particular. I have been testing with the configuration below, and it seems to be working fine. However, what will happen if the Internet connection is lost (or nonexistent)? Will the peers still be able to find each other? (According to this question, I w...

Hi, We have and app that is using custom headers to pass what we call a "callerid". The caller is just a way of identify which customer is calling the service, so we can connect them to the right db etc. At the moment we have 3 services which all require the callerid to function. so a call might be callerid --> callerid --> callerid S...
Hi all, I wish to add compression to the WCF based web service to reduce the payload and increase throughput. But the issue is that I consume the service from a c/linux application using gSOAP. I know gSOAP allows compression, but I am not sure if gSOAP and WCF based web service can talk to each other with compression on. Please put fo...

Yes, the PHP server is case sensitive. Am I forced to capitalise my parameter names? or can I specify names using attributes? Many Thanks Neil...
We are looking at redoing some web service applications (currently in prototype phase) from WCF/C# to a C++ cross platform web service framework. So, I'm looking at Axis2/C or WSO2 WSF/C++ as possible frameworks. I'd really like to port the functionality already written in the WCF service to the other service frameworks. Here's the fu...
