WCF (Indigo)
I read through Ron Jacobs post on Monitoring WCF Data Services with AppFabric http://blogs.msdn.com/b/end... What is immediately striking are 2 things – it’s so easy to get monitoring data into a viewer (AppFabric Dashboard) w/ very little work. And the 2nd thing is, why can’t this be a WCF message inspector on the dispatch side. So, I took the base class WCFUserEventProvider that’s located in the WCF/WF samples [1] ......
Cloud services that is. Windows Azure, .NET Services, Live Services…. If you looking for the spoon fed variety of information, a bunch of HOWTO vides have been released – see below. These are small little “nuggets” – like those MSDN Nuggets out of Microsoft UK. Get Started Developing on Windows Azure? If you’re a developer and you’re new to Windows Azure, start here! You’ll see what you need to download and install, and how to create a simple “Hello World” Windows Azure application. Deploy a Windows ......
A little while back Martin sent me a question on some of the examples in Chapter 10 of our book (Pro WCF). The point of the question was how to dynamically consume a WCF services (late bind) from C++ using COM. The root of the capability lies in the moniker implementation, which is provided for inside of System.ServiceModel.ComInte... There's a series of types, attribute type as well, that the ServiceModel framework will build up the COM client along with the interfaces based upon a "GetObject" ......
In my (along with Chris Peiris) MSDN article (Integrating WCF Services with COM+), there were a few things I wanted to change, but given the edit review cycle, I decided to wait until it was published and just blog about some additional concepts. What follows are just a couple of extra pictures that give a view of how WCF ServiceModel.ComIntegration works in regards to calling COM+ Components from WCF Clients. Let's take a little step back to COM+ and COM+ Applications. There are 2 types of COM Applications ......
Well, an article, whose content was mostly taken from the WCF Book, is finally published on MSDN. It took quite a long time from "acceptance" to appearance. I believe it was back in February 2007 that it was finalized from a content perspective. Since then, I haven't heard much till today. There were lots of updates that given the editing and review process, I held off on so it wouldn't be delayed. I'll now take the time and publish up on my blog - mostly more information on the different hosting ......
The BizTalk server team has released the aforementioned tool to facilitate the development of "Adapters" (not just BTS, but general WCF) for creation of WCF extensions to consume existing service interfaces. Mostly, it facilities building well structured classes that meet the WCF extensions requirements. Clearly, you still need to code up the actual interfaces, connection code handling, etc. This SDK is usable without BizTalk and can be used to create interfaces to existing systems. Then, expose ......
