From what I've seen the tag is ignored when hosting a WCF service in IIS. I understand that when self-hosting this is required but is this harmful or even used when operating under IIS? ex. <system.serviceModel> <service blah blah blah> <host> <baseAddresses> <add baseAddress="http://localhost/blah" /> </bas...
I have a WCF service that gets called from client side JavaScript. The call fails with a Service is null JavaScript error. WebDevelopment helper trace shows that the calls to load the jsdebug support file results in a 404 (file not found) error. Restarting IIS or clearing out the Temp ASP.Net files or setting batch="false" on the compi...
Would using WSDualHttpBinding for duplex callbacks work in real-world scenarios? Say, I have a .NET application that uses a random port, would the service be able to resolve the client's base addresses and port for callbacks? ...
Has anybody got this to actually work? Documentation is non existent on how to enable this feature and I get missing attribute exceptions despite having a 3.5 SP1 project. ...
We have to connect to a third party SOAP service and we are using WCF to do so. The service was developed using Apache AXIS, and we have no control over it, and have no influence to change how it works. The problem we are seeing is that it expects the requests to be formatted using Web Services Security, so we are doing all the correct ...
Is there a way to auto discover a specific WCF service in the network? I don want to config my client with the address if this is posible. ...
I am experimenting with using the FaultException and FaultException to determine the best usage pattern in our applications. We need to support WCF as well as non-WCF service consumers/clients, including SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 clients. FYI: using FaultExceptions with wsHttpBinding results in SOAP 1.2 semantics whereas using FaultExceptio...
Some 4 years back, I followed this MSDN article for DateTime usage best practices for building a .Net client on .Net 1.1 and ASMX web services (with SQL 2000 server as the backend). I still remember the serialization issues I had with DateTime and the testing effort it took for servers in different time zones. My questions is this: Is t...
I have a service contract that defines a method with a parameter of type System.Object (xs:anyType in the WSDL). I want to be able to pass simple types as well as complex types in this parameter. Simple types work fine, but when I try to pass a complex type that is defined in my WSDL, I get this error: Element 'http://tempuri.org/:val...
Hey... Does anyone know an easy way to import a raw, XML RSS feed into C#? Am looking for an easy way to get the XML as a string so I can parse it with a Regex. Thanks, -Greg ...
In the WCF application that I am working on, I need to access the generated source of a particular webpage (after all the AJAX calls on the page are made). I have tried using System.Net.WebRequest but it just brings me back the original source of the page. Is there a way to execute a page and then get the source? Else, is there a way t...
DOING THE POST IS NOT THE PROBLEM! Formatting the message so that I get a response is the problem. Ideally I'd be able to construct a message and use WinHTTP to perform a post to a WCF service (hosted in IIS) and get a response, but so far I've been unable to construct something that works properly. Does anyone have an example of doin...
We're currently having a debate whether it's better to throw Faults over a WCF channel, versus passing a message indicating the status or the response from a service. Faults come with built in support from WCF where by you can utilize the built in error handlers and react accordingly. This however carries overhead as throwing exceptions...
I have create a WCF service and am utilising netMsmqBinding binding. This is a simple service that passes a Dto to my service method and does not expect a response. The message is placed in an MSMQ, and once picked up inserted into a database. What is the best method to make sure no data is being lost. I have tried the 2 following met...
Is there any way to work with Oracle UDT's with current WCF adaptor? ...
I am wondering what makes sense in relation to what objects to expose through a WCF service - should I add WCF Serialization specifications to my business entities or should I implement a converter that maps my business entities to the DataContracts that I want to expose through my WCF service? Right now I have entities on different lev...
I have a set of WCF web services connected to dynamically by a desktop application. My problem is the really detailed config settings that WCF requires to work. Getting SSL to work involves custom settings. Getting MTOM or anything else to work requires more. You want compression? Here we go again... WCF is really powerful - you can us...
I have wirtten a RESTful WCF Service. Incorporating E-Tags, expires headers. The caching works great when using it from a browser. However how does the caching work when calling it from a WCF Channel Factory or .NET Web Request Objects? So in the scenario where I have my website calling the WCF restful service when a 304 not modifi...
I need to host a WCF service in IIS that exposes a wsHttpBinding. That part is working nicely using the settings of system.serviceModel in my web.config. What i need now is to setup the configuration (like maxReceivedMessageSize and other options) through a configuration assembly that is also used by the client(s). How is this possible...
Hi, In our project we have a standard auto-generated designer.cs file, linked to a DBML file, that contains all our object classes that map onto our database tables. We want to pass these objects directly through a WCF Service and so they need decorating with the [DataContract] and [DataMember] attributes where appropriate. What is the...
