My client/server application is using WCF for communication, which has been great. However one shortcoming of the current architecture is that I must use known type configuration for certain transmitted types. I'm using an in-house Pub/Sub mechanism and this requirement is unavoidable. The problem is that it's easy to forget to add th...
I am trying to override the ApplyConfiguration method in my custom ServiceHost to read the configuration from a database instead of app.config. Ideally I would want to be able to do something like this: Configuration config = GetConfigFromMyDatabase(...); ServiceModelSectionGroup serviceModel = ServiceModelSectionGroup.GetSectionGroup(...

I know that WCF is supposed to be transport agnostic, but is there a method to write directly to the client (web client esp.)? I need to do the equivalent of response.redirect(url) and though it might be possible to just write out a "301 Location Moved" header. I am trying to write a service that would move static content to a CDN (S3 ...
In C# I can do this to expose a property via WCF [ServiceContractAttribute()] public interface IFoo { int Length { [OperationContract()] get; [OperationContract()] set; } } I have to do it that way since OperationContract decorates a method but not a property. I'm working with a legacy interface that I can't easily chan...
The environment is in-house service based applications running in a Windows environment with WCF. There are several "middle-tier" ASP.NET Web Applications and Web Services that authenticate the final client using Windows authentication, and use ASP.NET Roles to set Thread.CurrentPrincipal to a suitable RolePrincipal. These application...
I work for a large state government agency that is a tad behind the times. Our skill sets are outdated and budgetary freezes prevent any training or hiring of new employees/consultants (firing people is also impossible).

On a scheduled interval I need to call a WCF service call another WCF Service asyncronously. Scheduling a call to a WCF service I have worked out. What I think I need and I have read about here on stackoverflow that it is necessary to.., (in essence) prepare or change the code of your WCF services as to be able to handle an async call ...
For parameters to an OperationContract that represent a date only (no time component or timezone designator), it is desirable to use xs:Date, to avoid any ambiguity or problems with timezone conversion between client and server. WCF currently only supports xs:DateTime for serializing DateTime parameters. What is the easiest way to gene...

I have a WCF service and a Windows client. They communicate via a Duplex WCF channel which when I run from within a single network domain runs fine, but when I put the server on a separate network domain I get the following message in the WCF server trace... The message with to 'net.tcp://abc:8731/ActiveAreaService/mex/mex' canno...
