WCF Extensibility for Interoperability....

Jurgen's posted a great real world example of why WCF extensibility is essential for interop. The scenario he describes is that of having to a connect a TANDEM system written in COBOL to a Windows client using WCF. Which is an example of why you would

Contract-first Design Quotes

Relevant Quote Link The trouble is this promotes a very code-first approach. This really sucks from a BizTalk developer's point of view. I already have my schemas. I know the shape of the messages I want to receive. Where's the support for the Schema-

How Actions differ from Operations...

I haven't thought about the relationship between “Actions” and "Operations" for quite a while. Therefore, I thought I'd give my brain dump. I look forward to your feedback in case I have it wrong. First, I thought it useful to summarize the description

WSDL Namespaces

In creating demos, I always need to make sure that we have a realistic scenario. With regards to that, we try to be particular about the namespace that we choose for the varoius WSDL elements. This post documents what guidance I have read and recieved.
