Re-throwing exceptions
Tue, Dec 2 2008 10:33
While I was reading the Essential Windows Communication Foundation book (from Addision Wesley ), I found the following code (on a transaction required for a WCF service context): [OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired = true,    TransactionAutoComplete = true)] public void Transfer( String from, String to, double amount){   try {    ...

.NET 3.5 and VS SP beta1 goodies
Mon, May 12 2008 20:58
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! Another cool thing: the ScriptManager is able to combine scripts so there's really no need for using the ToolkitScriptManager for that... Read More...

WCF again: the slow problem attacks again
Wed, Mar 26 2008 0:22
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 the problem lies. I've written a post on the WCF forum... Read More...

WCF client calls slow
Fri, Mar 14 2008 12:09
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. The problem was that pinging was really fast, so it seemed like there was no client/server communication problem. You can say that I'm a curious stubborn guy and since... Read More...

WCF+Windows Forms = lots of problems with some services
Tue, Mar 11 2008 0:15
In these last days I've been really busy finishing an application which consists of a Windows Forms app that gets its data from serveral WCF services (which, btw, use basic HTTP binding + SSL). Now, most of the services work really smoothly, but...there are 2 which are really making me go crazy: they are SLOW when run in Windows XP Pro machines! Now, I'm... Read More...

Syndication and WCF
Wed, Jan 16 2008 15:16
The latest release of .NET has added several interesting new things. One of those is support for Syndication. The System.ServiceModel.Web assembly has several classes that you can use to expose an ATOM or RSS feed. There's already a cool article on how to achieve this which has been published on MSDN, so I'm not going to bother you with the details (you... Read More...

Calling a WCF service from your Silverlight application
Tue, Jun 12 2007 23:43
Yesterday I talked about calling a traditional ASMX web service from your Silverlight app. Today, I'll be talking about WCF services. As I've said yesterday, in the current release, you only have tool support for getting a proxy to an ASMX web service (well, at least I've tried getting a web reference to a WCF service and it simply didn't work...

Calling your WCF web service from an ASP.NET AJAX page
Tue, May 22 2007 15:44
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). Getting a proxy on the client side is a simple as adding a... Read More...

Creating and using a test certificate with a WCF service
Fri, Jan 19 2007 6:10
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 -sr LocalMachine -ss My -a sha1 -n "CN=url-you're-using"... Read More...
