I maintain a program that sends messages between users. The clients connect to a WCF-service that is hosted in IIS 7.0 on my domainserver.

Serializing Delegates in WCF Using a Surrogate?

I have an idea, but I need help implementing it. WCF does not support delegates in its contracts. Instead it has a cumbersome callback contracts mechanism, and I'm looking for a way to overcome this limitation.

The machine sits behind an ISA proxy (no domain, and no proxy username/pwd) and I have added the proxy to my app.config. Here it is: <system.net> <defaultP...

Sharing content between business objects and DTOs

All, My typical approach for a medium sized WCF service would be something like: Define the interface using WCF data contracts and service operations. The data contracts would be POCO DTOs with no CRUD or domain logic. Model the domain using fully featured business objects. Provide some mechanism to go from DTO to BO and vice versa (...

WebFaultException to pass back an XML message rather than string?

In my RESTful services layer, any exceptions that bubble up to me are caught as Fault Exceptions. Within that FaultException, there's a custom XML message that contains <errorNumber>, <errorCode> and a <message>. I re-package the exception as a WebFaultException so I can set the HttpStatusCode for the response header to 400, 401, 404, et...

I am using the polling duplex model for my silverlight app and wcf communication. The wcf service pushed data to the silverlight app. While the app runs perfectly in my local environment and local iis (xp, iis5.0), it has a very unpredictable and abrupt behavior when i deploy it on my test server on IIs 7.

Detect when client connected to wcf service

From a little bit of reading around, it is my understanding that the only way to detect that a client has connected to my service is through writing my own code. I am using a Singleton service.
