Hello all. This is my first question here, so please don't shoot. I've been playing with Linux recently (Ubuntu 9.04 and openSUSE 11.1) with focus on web services.

I am going to be coding up a windows service to add users to a computer (users with no rights, ie just for authentication). (As a side note, I plan to use this method.)

I have a WCF service which works on my dev machine running IIS 7, but my coworker is running IIS 5.1 (XP).

I am working with WCF .NET 3.5 SP1 and have read that one does NOT have to decorate their Entities/Collections with such things as [DataMember], [DataConract], and/or [Serializable]? What is the best way to go? What have you all encountered? I am on 3.5 SP1. ...
Do I need to learn the WCF Service trace viewer tool? I understand I can use the WCF Service Trace Viewer tool to trace messages leaving from clients, or arriving at servers.

One of the places I'm deploying my client to is ...
I'm working on a kind of "store and forward" application for WCF services. I want to save the message in a database as a raw XML blob, as XElement. I'm having a bit of trouble converting the datacontract into the XElement type I need for the database call. Any ideas? ...
