.NET 3.5 and VS SP beta1 goodies

You can get them from here (VS) and here (.NET). I'm reading what's new on Brad Abrams post and I'm really digging the new features:) For instance, having the format option working with JS code is simply cool!

WCF again: the slow problem attacks again

On a different set of machines...I'm stumped. I mean, I though I'd nailed it with the proxy problem , but unfortunately there are still some machines where the 1st call is really really slow and removing the proxy isn't helping. I've even profiled the code but I still can't see where... Read More...

WCF client calls slow

Today I was able to get back to my previous WCF client problem that I had described here . After looking at the old logs again, it was clear that the delay was on the server discoverability.

Yesterday I talked about calling a traditional ASMX web service from your Silverlight app. Today, I'll be talking about WCF services.

Calling your WCF web service from an ASP.NET AJAX page

The 3.5 beta version of the .NET platform lets us use JSON as the serialization format used by a web service call. The best of all is that this means that we can now call a web service from an ASP.NET AJAX page. To do this, you need to add some entries to your configuration file (on the server side)...

Creating and using a test certificate with a WCF service

Since I've just lost a couple of hours trying to configure my WCF service to use SSL, I've though I'd put the steps here for self-reference. The first thing you need to do is to create a test certificate. Since I'm running Vista+IIS 7 (workstation), I've used makecert with something like this: makecert... Read More...
