WCF Extensibility Guidance Chapter 2

Friday, January 22, 2010

The second chapter of our WCF Extensibility Guidance Pablo and I authored a few months ago is now available on MSDN. This chapter is one of my favorites given that it touches upon the most common extensibility points of WCF's client and dispatcher programming model. Specifically, this chapter covers the best practices and techniques to implement the following WCF extensibility components:

Message Encoders
Message Formatters
Message Filters
Message Formatter
Parameter Inspectors
Operation Selectors
Operation Invokers

Similarly to the previous chapter, we've tried to illustrate each extensibility points within the context of real world scenarios.

I hope you guys enjoy reading this chapter. Please send us feedback to jesus dot rodriguez at tellago dot com or pablo dot cibraro at tellago dot com.

Well done. Safe to say that you've forgotten more about WCF in the last 12 seconds than I'll ever know in my lifetime.

Maybe in chapter 3, we'll actually see some methods implemented.

Jesse,

The samples attached to the paper contains complete implementations of all the different extensibility points. We were not able to include the implementation details in the paper because of space constraints. Even with this approach, the guidance is 114 pages long.

Thanks for your feedback.

The MSDN page listing the WCF extensibility isn't showing a link for code. Where's the code?
