based on my understanding WCF's data contract model was opt-in vs the old opt-out approach of asmx web-services. you have to explicitly include all the fields and types that you require using DataContractAttribute and DataMemberAttribute. my experience however has been different. take a look at the following examples, ///CASE: 1 ///B...
Hello everyone, I am using IIS 7.0 to host a simple WCF service. I write it by using VSTS 2008 + .Net 3.5 + C#. The issue is when I access http://localhost:9999/service.svc (I suppose in web browser we can browse the content of WSDL, and I create a new web site which uses port 9999 and run application pool under administrator account), ...

I have been trying to add a new endpoint in a service hosted under IIS but haven't been able to figure it out for the past day or so.

I'm interested in simulating a number of clients attempting to invoke a WCF service simultaneously and I need to measure the average response time for each client. Are there any good tools available for load/stress testing WCF services which have multiple end points(wsHttp, netTCP etc). I've heard that SOAPUI is the most prevalent testi...
General description I am calling a Silverlight enabled WCF service from a Silverlight application. My service queries a database (SQL Server) and returns values from there.

The WCF I developed is using basicHttpBinding. The issue I met with is, when I use Visual Studio.Net (Visual Studio ...

Most of the users sit within our firewall, so they do not have any problems accessing the WCF service running on the application server (through a Service.svc file). However, some users will sit outside of our firewall, and only have ...
Hi, I have a complex data type, including a number of functions, as well as the usual get and get methods. My life would be considerably easier if I could use WCF so my client can also use this data type. Do I Ignore all the operations, putting [DataMemeber] only where needed.

I've made this Community Wiki because some may think it's open to debate and others might think it's a question of using words to mean what they really mean (in other words, it's a matter of opinion whether it's a matter of opinion). There's a general question on SO about declarative programming, which has some great answers. But I'm a...
I'm programming a service for a program that uses HTTP post/get requests, so I handle all incoming requests with a hook method that takes a System.IO.Stream and returns a System.IO.Stream. When I parse the incoming request (contained in an HTML form) by converting to a string and then using System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(string...

Hi, So from what I've seen about services, custom objects seem to be the way to go when the service is written to return data. If I am writing a service that will be used to 1) populate a database, or 2) provide information for a web site, is there ever a use for returning a dataset/datatable as opposed to a list of custom objects with...
