Often, While having client and server communication via WCF, there are some errors that one get quiet frequently. I am blogging the error and resolution for the benefits of all blog readers
Error : There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://servername:portnumber/ that could accept the message.This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
Resolution:
If you get above error, ensure to follow the below stepsStep 1. Ensure you are pinging the server only if it is started. Normally, this is a typical issue while accessing the service, client pings the server even if it is not started.
Step 2. Ensure that config file in both client and server does not have different address.
Step 3. netpipe/named pipe only works if client and server resides in same machine.Use netTcp binding incase they are not in same machine or if there is any chances in future that both of them does not resides in same machine.
Also, ensure that your IP is been correctly accesed via the client. Normally, this does not happen if you are using load Balancing techniques provider the hardware components. If still the problems does not solve, email me :)

if you have seen noticed about whats new in .NET 4.0 for WCF. One of the things that have been brought into the attention is the support for creating RESTful Services. So does that mean that in order to create RESTful services via WCF, one need to wait for .NET 4.0. Well.. Not really.. if you are working on .NET 3.5 SP 1, then you got a WCF REST Starter Kit. It is available for
download on CodePlex. This kit simplifies the development of REST services by adding new features and guidance tightly integrated with ASP.NET and the existing WCF release in .NET 3.5 SP1. Click

Recently i have got a chance to got a visit a wonderful site called Ramp Up program (
http://www.myrampup.com/) . Ramp Up is a free, online, community-based program that can help users save time in learning Microsoft technology. The easy-to-access content (provided by subject-matter gurus) is specifically tailored to the Ramp Up program, and offered in a variety of forms (whitepaper, v-lab, codecast and slidecast). There are lot of tracks in it SharePoint track, along with the other currently offered tracks (eg, Visual Studio 2008), teaches the important skills in a guided path, making the learning process easier and more efficient. Currently, there are no assessments in the program, so it's quicker than ever to graduate and receive the reward (25% off on certification and 50% off on e-Learning - only for graduates of Ramp Up).

Anyone who has developed couple of web applications , they are very much aware of what 404 error page is .. well this error page is from IIS that comes when we type incorrect URL. well, this might happen due to variety of reasons like Pages deleted/moved or even the links in other pages have not been updated. well , this error page always look very strange to the end user who got no clue as to why and what was the mistake. Perhaps, even the developers were not having any way to handle this situation. This is where "web Page error toolkit" comes into the picture. This toolkit helps you customize 400 error page by giving good search results, relevant links or even helping to correct your spelling and many more. This sounds really an effective medium for any web applications running on top of .NET 2.0 or above. To download, click

Every solution based and product driven companies requires some set of best practices for coding guidelines and also for layout, readability and documentation. Developers have their own style of writing and since most of us as a developer used to write code as a part of team creates a sort of inconsistencies. if you have gone to MSDN or technet, you would observed a clearly readibility and consistency in the code. well, the reason behind is a Source analysis tool called StyleCop which is been matured within microsoft from over few years. Good thing is that it is now freely available. Source analysis tools are often get compared with code analysis tool. for e.g. obvious thing that would have came in your mind is FxCop. well, yes there are few similarities and few differences. Code analysis tool like fxCop work on binary files like assemblies while source analysis tool like StyleCop work with the code. StyleCop is well integrated with VS 2005/2008 and can be downloaded from
here. It can also be integrated with MSBuilds based command line builds
