I'm developing a wcf service as recommended here. It solved my initial problem of namespace conflicts when developing the original .NET 2.0 web service, but I've come up to another problem.

What is needed to either support WCF on Win2k, or at least minimize the effort in supporting remote communication with Win2k servers via .Net? Background: A product I'm working on has a legacy .NET remoting implementation that has been largely replaced by the WCF for new development. The legacy implementation is used as a fall-back fo...

I have 2 objects to create that are identical except for that they refer to my dev and test WCF services. Basically, these are the object for the service itself, and the object for a DTO created by the WCF data-contract. In my test client, I create either the 2 objects related to the dev WCF service, or the 2 objects related to the tes...
When specifying an address as part of an endpoint, the format is: http://localhost:8080/MyWCFService or net.tcp://localhost:8080/MyWCFService The guidance (in books, MSDN etc) states the '/MyWCFService' is a 'path' to the service. What exactly does this mean? Is it the Type of the service implementation (as opposed to say a physica...

I'm barely examining the architecture of REST and SOAP as an SOA in my architecture. When comparing the two, I've heard one of the downsides to REST is that is doesn't support "Transactions" - what are they talking about? Because from I can tell, it does support CRUD operations just from the underlying HTTP protocols of GET, POST, DELE...
I'm creating a web service in WCF that returns JSON, but the DataContractJsonSerializer is balking on some circular references (which I can't remove in this particular case). Instead, I'd like to use the Newtonsoft json library. What's the easiest way to create a custom serializer in WCF? Note: I know I could just return a stream, bu...
