The first chapter of the WCF extensibility guide that Jesus and I have been working on during the last few months went live in MSDN this weekend. You can find it here, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee672186.aspx The first chapter gives...
As Dr Nick announced in this post , WCF 4.0 will ship with a new feature to configure a client channel from a configuration source other than the traditional section in the application configuration file (I discussed a workaround for doing the same thing...
In the previous post, I discussed how bad was to expose EF entities directly as data contracts from a perspective of “interoperability”. This also revealed a lot of internal implementation details about EF that the client applications should not worry...
