Continuing my problem from yesterday, the Silverlight datagrid I have from this issue is now causing Stack Overflow errors when sorting a column with a large amount of data (Like the text column that contains a where clause for a SQL statment).

Attended an interesting demo on REST today, however, I couldn't think of a single reason (nor was one presented) why REST is in anyway better or simpler to use and implement than a Web Services stack. What are some of the reasons Why anyone in the "real world" use REST instead of the Web Services? ...

I am trying to write an application that uses pretty URLS or REST (still learning what this entails). Anyway my urls look like www.foo.net/some_url/some_parameter/some_keyword.

I noticed a new web service today called a Dead man's switch, which dispatches email in the event that you don't respond to periodic "pings" that prove you're still alive. But it occurred to me that I might outlive the person or organization that pays the bills for the service, making the service useless. There are other kinds of servic...

When a client makes a web service request, how does asp.net assign an instance of the service class to handle that request? Is a new instance of the service class created per request or is there pooling happening or is there a singleton instance used to handle all requests? ...

Hi, I'm new to both Web Services and RMI and I wonder which is the better way to do remoting between different web applications, when these applications are all written in Java, that is when different programming languages don't matter (which would be the advantage of WS). While on the one hand I would guess that there's a performance ...

Is there a functional language that has good support and tools for building web services? I've been looking at Scala (which compiles to the JVM and can use the Java libraries) and F# (which is .NET), but these are young and have some inefficiencies. Scala in particular doesn't support tail-call elimination except in self-recursive func...
