MCTS in WCF
Sunday, April 20, 2008 6:55 PM
So a little while ago, I mentioned that I did a WCF beta exam for a Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist. Its been a long time since I did that and I had kinda forgotten about it, but today I received the good news that I am now a MCTS in WCF! WooHoo! I really thought I had bombed that exam due to the very little prep that I had done, but fortunately that... Read More...

WCF & ASP.NET Role Provider
Friday, February 08, 2008 3:08 PM
So I was talking to Shea Strickland a relatively new starter in readify who is doing some WCF work and asked about the role provider support in WCF. He pointed me to an article by Dominick Baier who mentioned that the RoleProviderPrincipal in WCF will actually cause a database call each time an IsInRole check is performed. After some experimentation, this was... Read More...

WCF - Handling Generic Messages
Saturday, January 19, 2008 5:22 PM
I had a requirement for a client where we were upgrading a web site that had a business web service exposed, and we had to create a new service that was identical in operation to the old (from a consumer perspective). The situation we had though, was somewhat of a reversal on what I normally do (and I suspect what most people do). Typically, I would create a... Read More...

WCF and interoperability
Sunday, December 16, 2007 9:04 PM
I was trying to create an endpoint using WCF that was to look almost identical to an existing endpoint hat was created using some java tools (we were creating a new .Net app and had to mimic some older endpoints).The endpoint seemed ok at first glance according to the WSDL so I generated a client from it using the SVCUTIL.EXE tool and was going to use the interface...

WCF Beta Exam
Sunday, December 02, 2007 8:17 PM
I took the opportunity to sit the WCF Beta exam a few days ago and I must say, it was very hard. Being beta, I don't find out the results until about 8 weeks later, but I reckon I didn't fare too well. I did book the test a little impulsively, however I saw the opportunity to do it, and only had a free day to do the test that was a few days later than when I... Read More...

Architecture, WCF Services and Caching
Friday, August 10, 2007 11:17 AM
Blog Article On a recent project we had the requirement to produce a web application as part of the main deliverable, but also to provide a services layer or implementation, that will allow external clients within the same organization to interact with the underlying system. The underlying system is a combination of SQL data access and web services to other systems... Read More...
WCF and Concurrent usage throttling
Wednesday, June 27, 2007 12:37 PM
Have a requirement to interface with a legacy system that exposes a set of web services. The legacy system is not terribly fast and there are concerns by the client that it cannot handle excessive load. It seems to handle the current load ok, but we have been tasked with writing a system which will interface directly with the legacy system and potentially increase... Read More...
