If you have created any silverlight applications which need to communicate to a WCF Endpoint you know that you must communicate with WCF via Async actions. As you may know there are multiple ways to get your Silverlight application to communicate with a WCF service. One way is to simply create...

Ok, now that I have your attention, it is time to get your mind out of the gutter and back on the topic at hand. When you are building out native mobile applications you are undoubtedly going to communicate to some sort of back end server via some sort of Web Service (say WCF for example if building...

As we are building out our mobile WCF endpoints we want to be able to track/trend the size of messages which are being sent to our phones. We want to do this for multiple reasons 1) to trend our message sizes over time to make sure we are being good little developers 2) to be able to report and...

Ok, so I still working on setting up SSL on my WCF endpoints. I thought I had everything working nicely but when I was porting my changes from a test application into my real application I of course screwed a few things up (go figure). When I would try to open the service host I would get...

I am trying to enable SSL for some of our WCF services (I followed this as I am self hosting) and at one point it was all working, but then it just stopped. Because I have make a metric-crap-ton of changes over the course of my exploring and because I am still relatively green when it comes to...

Today I ran into a very interesting issue where my WCF service was not publishing my metadata… but I had the Mex endpoint setup correctly. When I tried to hit my hosted service in a browser I received the following message I double checked that my config was indeed correct it was…. I was...

Toady we ran into an issue where the serialization graph of our objects exceeded the default max limits (yea I know, I need to resolve this as my root issue, but one step at a time). When I used the WcfTestClient to test for a working solution for my problem I simply had to make a few config changes...

If you have ever setup a set of WCF services and tried to have them communicate across physical machines you know that out of the box this is not ‘possible’ due to security constraints. But, it is 100% possible to set up your services to communicate in a pure 'open’ manor and in fact it is dead simple...

Have you ever run into the following error while trying to host (start) a WCF service inside a Windows Service? Starting WCF Services step has caused the following error HTTP could not register URL http://+:9997//Services/HashGenerationService/ . Your process does not have access rights to this namespace...

The other day I refreshed one of our WCF services (right click the service and do a Update Service Reference) and all of a sudden I got a metric crap-ton of build errors. In each place I received the error it told me that the type was not found. At first I could not understand what was going on, in fact...

Today while doing a bit of refactoring to some of our WCF code I started getting the following error e.Message "The ChannelDispatcher at ' http://localhost:9997/ServiceNameHere/ServiceHere' with contract(s) '\"IService\"' is unable to open its IChannelListener." e...

In this great post by Jimmy Bogard or this Dimecasts on the subject we take a look at how to add IoC (Inversion of Control) support to your WCF application in order to support DI (Dependency Inversion). However, the one thing both the post and Dimecasts fail to take into account is what if you are not...

On the course of last few months, I’ve been working with Craig Neuwirt , on what I consider one of the coolest additions to Castle WCF Integration Facility . Problem As you probably know by default all WCF calls are synchronous – you make a request, under the cover WCF blocks your thread...
