My performance measurements of synchronous WCF calls from within a Silverlight application showed I can make 7 calls/s on a localhost connection, which is very slow. Can this be speeded up, or is this normal? This is my test code: const UInt32 nrCalls = 100; ICalculator calculator = new CalculatorClient(); // took over from the MSDN ca...
Hi, I have inherited a web site project that makes use of a number of WCF Web Services hosted on a BizTalk server. We have two environments that I need to deploy this project to, with different URLs for the different BizTalk servers. i.e. In the Staging environment, I need to point the services at xx.xx.xx.101 In the Live environment, ...
Hi, .net service to .net client with shared POCO (data objects) library at both ends. Object OrderInfo contains a List. If the list contains any Module objects I get the dreaded "The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly." I can send a "standalone" List from another service method and it works fine so...
I'm building a Web Service in C# with VS2008, and want to implement WS-Addressing, so the message headers look like eg below: What do I need to add / do in VS2008 to make this happen? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/address...
I need to get the following information during tracing: 1. I need to know how long an operation was executed. 2. I need to know if the operation(method in the service) is executed successfully. 3. I need to know if there's an error. I know that we can see all of that using the Service Trace Viewer, but is there a way that I can filte...

I'm struggling to find a decent walkthrough for this issue, and was hoping that someone could shed some light on this... I've built an application using a ton of Unity and DI, and I need to pull a few components into a web site and run a WCF service now with them. host a WCF service for clients to connect to it instead of having it inclu...
How can I obtain the server address that was used for a request when it has multiple IP addresses? E.g. the server has the addresses 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. when processing the request the server service needs to know if 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 was used by the client to connect to it. So far I only found that OperationContext.Current....
Hello, I am having difficulty understanding how to exactly go about adding known types; for WCF, from a configuration file that is external to my wcf. I found an example of how to set the configuration file up, however, I am a bit confused as to the way the file is set up and I am not sure as to how I am actually supposed to call this ...
Hi! I don’t know if it’s possible, but I want to be able to refer to enums from my WCF service on the client side. I have one core project, and in that project the enums are: public enum StatusType { Ok = 1, Error = 2, Unknown = 0 } public enum DirectionType { None = 0, ToSystem = 1, FromSystem = 2 } I...

I have to duplicate some settings (like connection string) between a web.config file that a WCF host uses and a web.config file that a web client uses. In the interest of not duplicating, can I have both the web.configs read from a separate xml file? The two web.configs can be entirely in different solutions/projects so I guess this is ...
Hello, I have a service with multiple contracts like so. [ServiceContract] public partial interface IBusinessFunctionDAO { [OperationContract] BusinessFunction GetBusinessFunction(Int32 businessFunctionRefID); [OperationContract] IEnumerable<Project> GetProjects(Int32 businessFunctionRefID); } [ServiceContract] publ...
Hello, I'm looking for a pattern to solve the following problem, which I imagine is common. I am using WCF RIA Services to return multiple entities to the client, on initial load. I want both entities to load asyncrhonously, so as not to lock the UI, and I'd like to leverage RIA Services to do this. My solution, below, seems to work....
I have been writing web services for about a year now and it seems that the process I use to get data from the Database all the way to display to the user and back again has some inefficiencies. The purpose of this question is to make sure that I am following best practices and not just adding extra work in. Here is the path for data ...
Hi, Is it possible to queue messages in a separate server and have multiple instances of WCF services hosted in Windows Services in different machines to use the same queue. Using the same queue enables service requests to be kept centrally. the different service instances can get the queue messages one at a time and perform the task. P...
I know I can add service behaviors with some XML configuration, but I'd like to do it with a piece of C#, similar how you can add endpoint behaviors. I'm not sure how to do that, though. In other words, how can I add the debug behavior I've instantiated below? var host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService)); var endpoint = host.AddServic...
Here is the scenario, I have a WCF service call that takes one string parameter and that string has slashes in it (e.g. "123/456.xml"). I want to setup a UriTemplate like this "/{file}" so that I can access the method at http://www.example.com/File.svc/123/456.xml rather than http://www.example.com/File.svc/GetFile?file=123/456.xml. Is...
I am trying to access the singleton instance created by my WCF service but .SingletonInstance seems to be null even after .Open is called on the ServiceHost. Is there any way to force the ServiceHost to create the instance before the first WCF client request comes in (which presumably automatically spawns the singleton instance)? ...
