Here is my scenario: I have a proxy that actually has the SSL Cert installed and this sits in front of a load balanced web farm. Each IIS server does not have SSL so I can't use transport security via wsHttp binding. I have not investigated basicHttp because we want to provide SOAP 1.2 going forward w/ this solution. In addition to t...
I currently have a solution with a couple of projects and one of them is a WCF Service. I created another projected with a static class that basically provides a gateway to an instance of the WCF client, like such : public static class WSGateway { public static DBInteractionGatewayClient MR_WebService { get { ...
I want to log all exceptions server side. In ASP.NET I write something like this in Global.asax.cs, but will this work for a WCF service, too? public class Global : HttpApplication { protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) { Exception unhandledException = Server.GetLastError(); //Log except...
I am using a WCF OperationContract that takes an array of integers as an argument. It is using basicHttpBinding.

Hi I have a silverlight project that calls into a wcf service. Everything works fine on my local machine. However when I deploy to a virtual machine, with the exact same query the wcf service returns, but the result is empty.

Below is the custom SelectOperation method. It works just fine when the debugger is NOT attached - however, when it i...

We're planning on updating our developers from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008. Are there any common "gotchas" to look out for during this move? My major concern at the moment is that we use WSE 3.0 quite a bit (mostly to consume external .asmx web services, but we also host a few ourselves). Will that be an issue since WSE 3.0 has been ...
I got a Windows service installed on my development machine (that I made) and I want to interact with it. For a reason I don't know, each time I start the client, a WCF Service Host pop and said that the address is already in use ... which is true ... but how can I do to NOT start that Windows ? Is it because my two projects (server and...

Here's my scenario: I'm planning on running a Windows Service hosted WCF service on a server that is outside of our domain (in it's own workgroup). I need to access it securely from a client that is inside our domain. There is a firewall between the two machines that we are in control of. The service does not need to be accessible by a...
A WCF service is hosted in a Windows Service (WS). When the database (SqlServer 2005) goes down a SqlException is thrown due to the actions performed on the database. What I want to accomplish is that the WS - where the WCF service is hosted - should go down when the DB is also down. The WS will be restarted manually by the way. My...
I am serialzing a linq object through WCF. The dbml is setup for unidirectional serialization. My objects are pretty simple: Budget has a collection of BudgetLineItems. Each BudgetLineItem has an ItemCateogry. Budget/BudgetLineItems are serialized fine. ItemCateogry on each BudgetLineItem do not, however. I noticed by default, li...

We are developing a project that involves about 10 different WCF services with several endpoints each. One of the services keeps a few big tables of data cached in memory. We have found we need access to that data from another service. Rather than keeping 2 copies of the cache, I'd like to be able to share those tables across all servi...
I have a WCF service currently using a TCP endpoint. Rather than create a separate console client app to administer the server I want the ability to telnet into the server or even just connect using a raw connection using putty and execute ascii commands straight on the server. Any ideas how I would go about doing this? Not an expert on...
