So currently my company is using a TCP/IP connection to talk between server and client programs, right now we are building this connection using System.RunTime.Remoting, which is clunky and not that reliable. It was built about 5 years ago and the model keeps getting reused and it's starting to propagate some issues, ports used, refused ...
I am attempting to compile/run a sample WCF application from Juval Lowy's website (author of Programming WCF Services & founder of IDesign). The application is an example of a publish/subscribe 'traffic-light' application that requires using VS 2010/.Net 4. This is my first attempt at using anything other than VS 2008/Net 3.5. Initi...

Background I'm working on the architecture for a cloud-based LOB application, using Silverlight for the client, WCF, ASP.NET/C# for server and SQL Server for storage. The data model requires some flexibility per user (ability to add custom properties and define validation rules for them, for example), and a hybrid EAV/CR persistence mod...
I'm trying to take advantage of Bidirectional serialization of some relational Linq-2-Sql generated entity classes. When using Unidirectional option everything works just fine, bu the moment I add IsReferenceType=true, objects fail to get transported over the tcp binding. Sample code: Entity class: [Table(Name="dbo.Blocks")] [DataCo...
The current situation is as follows: We have an production .net 3.5 WCF service, used by several applications throughout the organization, over wsHttpBinding or netTcpBinding. User authentication is being done on the Transport level, using Windows integrated security. This service has a method Foo(string parameter), which can only be cal...
Hi, I created a WCF service and exposed three endpoints which are basicHttpBinding, wsHttpBinding and webHttpBinding. This is a test service for my experiments with WCF. But, whenever I add service reference using the .svc file, I only get two (basic and ws) endpoints. There doesn't seem to be a third (webHttpBidning) endpoint being exp...
Hi all, I created a REST GetTime Service in WCF and the service returns JSON as the response message. Also the WebMessageBodyStyle is set to wrapped so it would have an ID associated with that data it returns. But when I use Fiddler to test my service the response string is: {"GetTimeResult":"2010614104013"} As the response above the...

Dispatcher distributes work between multiple instances (1 - n) of Workers, physically located on several machines. It is needed to distri...

I'm trying to use a WSDL Top Down approach to create a Web Service in Visual Studio 2010. I used Eclipse's WSDL GUI Editor to generate a WSDL file (CalculatorWSDL.wsdl) which uses the SOAP method for communication. I also used wsdl.exe to generate a C# file (Calculator.cs). Now, I'm not sure what to do next. How do I actually use the ...
(Assuming a WCF method called "MyFunction") Currently, to support canceling a WCF request, I'm using the BeginMyFunction/EndMyFunction methods generated by svcutil (and handling an isCanceled flag when dispatching the results to the main thread). I'd like to use the MyFunctionAsync method (and hooking into MyFunctionAsyncCompleted event...
Greetings!! I am new to wcf and have some doubts. I am able to create one wcf service and also able to consume that service in a client application using "add service reference".. now my question is why do we need SvcUtil.exe to create /generate proxy class and then consumed by client, the same thing can be done using 'Add ref' easily....
Hi, With a reference to my previous question, I would like to know how would I extract information of a WCF service from a client application to know what methods/types are exposed if the service exposes only one endpoint that uses webHttpBinding? Just to summarize, in my previous question, I came to know that an endpoint using webHttp...
