Please post the steps you have taken to setup SSL to work with WCF on Azure. I have my valid certificate uploaded successfully (using cspack) and working with the rest of the site, but after adding it, my previously working WCF service stopped working. (All I get is a 404 error back to Silverlight, which is not very helpful. Up votes ...
I have a WCF service that is setup to be hosted within a unity container. I was intending to use this container to perform method interception. The only issue is I can get my interceptor to fire... first here the def of my interceptor attribute and handler [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)] public class PCSecurityAttribute : H...
I can't get to the bottom of this error, because when the debugger is attached, it does not seem to occur. Below is the code. This is a WCF server in a Windows service. The method NotifySubscribers is called by the service whenever there is a data event (at random intervals, but not very often - about 800 times per day). When a Windows...
I know that a private parameterless constructor works but what about an object with no parameterless constructors? I would like to expose types from a third party library so I have no control over the type definitions. If there is a way what is the easiest? E.g. I don't what to have to create a sub type. Edit: What I'm looking for is...
I have a WCF service that is using webHttpBinding on an endpoint, and the WCF service is hosted as a windows service. Is it possible to secure this at the transport level by using HTTPS or some other method? ...
Given a contract such as: [ServiceContract] public interface IService { [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = "GetData/{id}.{format}")] ResponseData GetData(string id, string format); } Is there a way to get the service to respond with json when requested as: /GetData/1234.json, xml when requested as /GetData/1234.xml ...
I am in the process of implementing an enhancement to an existing web application(A). The new solution will provide features(charts/images/data) to the application A. The new enhancement will be a new project and will generate new assemblies. I am trying to identify what would be most elegant way to read this information. 1) Do a binary ...
Getting some weird behavior in a system. Here's what's up: I have a main which sets up server endpoints using WCF before opening the channels for read/write. I also have an entity-framework based database abstraction layer. When I instantiate my DataBase class, I connect to the DB. One of my endpoints contains this DB abstraction ...
I have a WCF service that calls, through a BL, a Data Layer and ultimately SQL Server back-end. My service exposes various methods/operations to get data out of the database. I have also built a host for it for testing, and a Windows Service Host, which is how I plan to deploy it. Yesterday when I did a test-deploy, the service starte...
I was checking out streaming in the Programming WCF Services book, and I spotted a line about configurating. You will need to configure the binding on the client or service side (or both) per required stream mode So what is this? How I know where I should configure them? And is this a common thing with WCF? Seems bit weird to me....
We have an application that starts a WCF server and the app reads from it. It starts and can be read fine on all Windows XP machines. On our Vista machine, however, we get: System.ServiceModel.AddressAccessDeniedException "The process has no rights to this namespace." System.Net.HttpListenerException The URL is at localhost: http:/...
Hi, I have a WCF service that is hosted on a Windows Service. Now I want to add file transfer functionality to this service but I have the following questions; considering that transferring files are both ways and files are not big (around 10MB): 1: I have read in MSDN that "Operations that occur across a streamed transport can have a c...
This is a follow up to this post on passing messages between two programs running on the same machine. I am trying to use Named Pipes but when I try and expose the Meta data I get a rights issue error saying HTTP could not register URL http://+:/8011/Local/Mex. I do not need to expose MetaData as this is a very simple service that is ...
I understand to an extent that it helps applications communicate regardless of their location. Can some please shed some more light and give an example of a real world use of WCF? Thanks guys ...
I have written a very simple WCF service (hosted in IIS) and web application that talks to it. If they are both in the same domain, it works fine. But when I put them in different domains (on different sides of a firewall), then the web applications says: The request for security token could not be satisfied because authentication fai...
I'm tired of dealing with config files so I'm trying to setup a WCF service in code only. So far I have this: m_ServiceHost = New ServiceHost(Me) m_ServiceHost.AddServiceEndpoint( GetType(Aam.AamServiceFramework.IServiceMonitor), New NetTcpBinding, "net.tcp://localhost:6000) m_ServiceHost.AddServiceEnd...
I have a custom WCF ServiceHost that opens a persistent object to an external resource. The operations on the contract are then wired on to this persistent object. The persistent object manages itself to ensure it's always in a usable state. I'm having a difficult time deciding where it is safe to dispose this object -- because once it'...
I'm having a problem consuming WCF service requiring custom SOAP headers for methods marked with [OperationContract] attributes. Custom headers cannot be explicitly declared in the service because interface methods are not based on [MessageContract]. As a result When svcutil.exe tries to build client proxies the resulting generated code ...
