I generated a set of web service proxy objects with the .Net 3.5 svcutil.exe tool. The soap body element has 2 extraneous xml namespace alias declarations. Specifically schema and schema instance namespaces ( http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance ). For other reasons, the service I'm interacting wit...
I'm currently developing a WCF REST Web Service that will be running on Microsoft Azure. To limit the number of requests per IP address to prevent abuse, I currently store the IP and timeout using the ASP.NET Cache. This method works great but since muliple VM instances with Azure don't share a single cache, the requests could be split ...

Hello, I'm a beginner in WCF, which I have chosen instead of Web Services because all articles and blogs I've read seem to point out that ASMX is old news. I have read a bit about the differences between old Web Services and WCF, and I got the general idea. I also took the MSDN WCF tutorial which seemed simple enough. My problem is th...

I write WCF service and want to keep it's activity log: trace, warnings and error messages. The very straight-forward approach is to wrap all contract service code inside try/catch sections and write error messages from catch part rethrowing service contract error exceptions. I suppose it would be nice if there would be one code-point t...

I am looking at implementing a Web Service API for our product. I have figured out how you go about the general architecture/fault handling within WCF. My question is a more general one of how to design the overall error handling system. For example I have a method called SaveCompany(companyobject). Each company name needs to be uniq...
Hi :) 1) I've noticed that the netTCP binding uses SOAP as the envelope, which I think then it uses SOAP as a message protocol. How could I create my own SOAP message, send it through the netTCP and the other side understand it? 2)Today, our application creates the SOAP envelope from scratch putting the proper namespaces and body eleme...
The examples everywhere show how to do Kerberos Token Profile 1.1 via WCF, however it uses Message security. In fact, the WCF implementation defaults to sign+encrypt. I have a requirement of using SSL, and instead using KTP for authentication and signing, and NOT encrypting. If I change the mode to TransportWithMessageCredential, it no ...

I have a WCF service (.NET 4) hosted in IIS. My service contract has one method with: [FaultContract(typeof(string))] My service implementation for that method validates input parameters and may throw an exception like this: if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(siteName)) { throw new FaultException("siteName is required."); } The consumer...
If I am creating web applications using ASP.NET and Silverlight is nowhere in the future and there's no need to expose data to third party services (eg, no oData needed), are there any advantages of using WCF Data Services over the traditional ADO.NET methods we've been using over the years? ...
