I am developing an application where the security requirements for data transferred and access are fairly high. As I understand, Windows authentication is the preferred method for TCP over an intranet. How do you deal with situations where Domains are not used and only simple workgroups are available? (Some customers will not be using d...
I have a certain service where specific functions will take longer to call than others, sometimes they might take seconds to return. In order to prevent the client's UI being blocked when this happens what is the preferred solution: Use a Duplex channel and simply use the callbacks to update the UI when data is received. Use a separate...
I've got an assembly containing several WCF services, each with its own contract. It all works nicely.

I'm having a WCF client which communicates with a WCF service (running AspNetCompabilityMode), and I would like to add a cookie (on the client) to every call to this web service. I have looked at the HttpTransportBindingElement, but I cannot find where to add my cookie - is it possible to add a cookie to the HttpTransportBindingElement,...
I have created a basic WCF service in IIS. I am aware that this should be developed in .net 3.0 and .net 3.5. My question is this. Can a client running .net 2.0 access and consume the WCF service? Cheers ...
I am working on a project that involves an embedded system which runs a non-microsoft OS with a C program for the application and am developing .NET software for its end user applications. For remote configuring with the .NET software (which can go across firewalls), I am considering using WCF. I know only a little about WCF so far but...
I have a WCF service hosted in IIS. The intention is for clients to make a call and receive a custom class that is defined in another project/dll. I have generated a service client using the svcutil.exe. The problem is this autogenerated client contains a new partial / proxy definition for the class I am trying to return from the service...
I have a solution with 2 projects. In the first project a I have a website with a Logon Control. In the second project I have a WCF project with an AuthenticatonService configured.

I am loading cours...
The data is not sensitive, I am really only considering security so that I can keep track of who is calling our system. I thought of just having each 'client' send an 'api-key' in the request and cross-check against a list of valid keys. I could then log the request and monitor activity by client. Note: performance is very critical so...
