We're planning a system running on Windows/.Net 3.5 that has a number of "services" that need to run in the background. Some will be active all of the time, but some will only be called occassionally and can be stood-up on demand. As far as I can see, my options are: Windows Services - always running(?) IIS hosted something - called o...
How bad is it? I have read countless articles and never created abstract DataContracts with behavior before, but it seems that doing so will solve an issue I am having that will prevent me from creating factories everywhere to determine a subclass implementation. My question is, will I be punished if I decide to add behavior to my data c...

Using VS 2008 & .NET 3.5 SP1: I am using WCF to allow clients to connect to a service that reads and writes database entries using Entity Framework.

I am inexperienced in WCF so this question may be real basic... I have a WCF service hosted in IIS of a server named "Server1". This server is aliased and visible from the open Internet as ServerAlias.mydomain.com. While developing the consumer application, I add a service reference to the service in Server1 and deploy it.

I am trying to automated the testing of a reporting website. I need to verify that the content of a datagridview is as expected for the reports. The datagridview will display column names and datarow results returned from an SQL database. I am thinking that the meat of the application which is stable is behind a WCF facade, so I should ...
as simple as i can: i have a WCF service with a private constructor. if i'm not wrong, constructors must be parameterless in WCF and the parameter i need is the caller's name (or caller's method name), so i can assign a few readonly fields. so, the question is: is there a way that i can get the caller's name -- or the method that invok...
I'm using WCF to let multiple peers connect to each other using the NetPeerTcpBinding. Is there a way to contact a single peer in this mesh? Preferably I would like to contact this peer transparently, so that the receiver simply continues to listen to the channel it always has, while the sender jumps through some hoops to deliver the m...
We have a WinForms application in C# 3.5 (SP 1). We would like to restrict the application to one process in memory with multiple window instances.

Has anyone ever tried to use custom binding with SSL in a WCF web service? I've seen a number of examples on how to do this with basicHttpBinding and wsHttpBinding but the equivalent always fails for customBinding.
