Hi All, I have hosted WCF in Windows Server 2003 standard edition. If there is not much process while fetching data from service it returns expected result, but if there is much processing involved, it comes with 504 error(The server didn't return a response for this request). I am using custom binding which is as follows to return JSO...
I'm currently experimenting with using WCF Data Services as a way to open up our product a bit more while at the same time being able to consume the data from AJAX. One thing that I noticed is that the JSON represention format has these __metada members sprinkled across the data, and in the OData documentation I found this (under Represe...
Hi, I'm developing a web application that needs to perform a task that consumes a lot CPU and Memory, and that also may last several minutes. In order to get a better user experience, I also developed a windows service that hosts a WCF service that performs this "high cost" task and that comunicates with the web app using msmq (message ...
I'm using WCF to call a method on a Java web service (using basicHttp with <security mode="Transport">). The service returns some HTML back instead of a SOAPFault. WCF seems to implement some odd truncating of the content returned in the exception, so I can't see the entire error. Is there a way to get the entire response? Perhaps so...
I present a List from WCF and client receives DocTypes[]. No prob there. current situation is where client my only accept 1,2 out of 100 DocTypes. What is best way to condense the [100 ] to only 2?

My understanding is that an IAuthorizationPolicy (added through my web.config) should be called BEFORE my ServiceAuthorizationManage.CheckAccessCore (also added through my web.config). (I also have principal authorization mode set to Custom in the web.config). This way, the IAuthorizationPolicy can add a ClaimSet, then the ServiceAuthor...

The web server will be on a web hosting company while the description db will be on a private network, so I'd like to pass the description to the mvc app through a WCF service. For the body of...
We recently enabled ReliableSessions on one of our applications and have noticed some very frustrating side effects with Exception Notification. If Reliable sessions is disabled and the serverUrl is mistyped we get a 'EndpointNotFoundException' return withing a few seconds or if (popular error) a user mistypes their credentials we get a ...
Hiya, Hoping you could help me please.. I am using WCF in my program. Part of this includes using ServiceHost in a self-service type scenario using a netNamedTypeBinding. When I include ServiceHost in my class and then instantiate that class (ServiceHost is set to null at this point), the memory usage increases by approx 9Mb. If I c...
I am building a custom encoder that compresses WCF responses. It is based on the Gzip encoder in Microsoft's WCF samples and this blog post: http://frenk.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/gzip-compression-wcfsilverlight/ I've got it all working, but now I would like to apply the compression only if the reply is beyond a certain size, but I am...
Hi there, Can anyone tell me the recomemended case (pascal or camel) for returning classes with fields...

Hi, I have a wsdl from a web service, I generated the wcf proxy. No problem. But I can not get my head around how to pass the user name and password. The webservice requires basic authentication - only username and password. Any help ? ...
We've got some WCF services we're hosting via IIS. The application in general uses Forms Authentication, and we'd like to continue making that available for web service clients. We just have a <authorization><deny users="?"> in our web.config and some authentication/redirection goodness that gets everything done. The problem is we'd lik...

I have various classes which I want to expose as Complex Types in WCF, so I add [DataContract] and [DataMember] attributes as necessary on those types and properties. However if I want to have them inherit from an abstract base class (for example Person inherits from abstract EntityBase), I get an error that the type "cannot inherit fro...
Hi there, probably something i doing wrong, but i am returning XML from my WCF Rest service which is built with VS 2010.

This is both information to those experiencing the issue and a question. edit: The question is why does dropping "www." from the URL cause this error when a website running at the same address can be referenced without "www.". I recently reproduced this problem using a trivial WCF service (the one from endpoint.tv) after resolving the ...
Consider the following simple example: [DataContract("{0}Base")] public class Base<T> where T : Entity<T> { // Common methods & properties.
