In Learning WCF, by Michele Bustamante, there is a section that describes a binding called the NetNamedPipes binding. The book says that this binding can only be used for WCF services that will be called exclusively from the same machine. Under what circumstances would it make sense to use this? Ordinarily, I would write asynchronous ...
My WCF Service has an OperationContract that accepts, as a parameter, an array of objects. This can potentially be quite large. After looking for fixes for Bad Request: 400, I found the real reason: the maximum message size. I know this question has been asked before in MANY places.

As part of it, I want to store the standard service behaviors configuration like expose service metatdata, service debug, service throttling for a service inside database rather than in web/app.config.

I currently have a web service built on WCF. It's still in its infancy, so, major changes are still possible. I've been thinking on porting it from WCF to a Java-based solution since I'd like to have a Linux-based backend. What would be the best way to accomplish this "conversion"? Any advantages WCF may have that Java lacks? ...

I have a plugin that I will instantiate at runtime and I want to pass it a WCF service from the application host. The application host is responsible for creating the connection to the service. The reason for this is that a single service can be used by multiple plugins, but the plugins should only know about its interface since there ...
Hi, I have a WCF service, which exposes many methods. My application consumes this service, and ServiceContract includes OperationContract definitions for only some of methods. To cut to the question, consider following code example: [ServiceContract] public interface IServer { [OperationContract] void BasicOperation(); } [S...
