Hi ,

Can you Please Explain what is the difference between

Synchronization Services for ADO.NET using WCF

AND

Synchronization Services for ADO.NET using WEB SERVICES

Thanks

Hi Allan,

If this works for small payloads, but fails on larger payloads, then this likely lies in the WCF configuration information. Unfortunately, I’m not a WCF expert in WCF, but if you can turn on debugging info, you should be able to figure out which parameter is causing you the pain.

We have a working project, but when updating too many rows (changes) from the local database to the server via WCF, we get an error 400 Bad Request. At the System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.Http.RequestChanngelHttpChannelRequest.WaitForReply(TimeSpan timeout).

Do you have any idea how to increase the Timeout.

Hi Steve

As per the request from Tae, can we please have a 'How To' on how to deploy this in IIS.

I really dont know where to start with this now?

Thanks

Tom

Hello Steve,

Following on Chris' issue with IIS, can you point me to a sample or more detailed "How-To" regarding deployment to IIS? What I am looking for is taking the WCF portion in the demo and instead of having it on the localhost, move it to a "production" web server. I emailed Liam because he produced a similar video, but he responded by saying he doesn't know enough of WCF to go beyond the local environment.

This is the only part that I am stuck on because I am use to the "old" .asmx webservice style but not Sync AND WCF.

Thanks,

Tae

Hi Chris,

When you say, how to deploy on an IIS server, are you asking how to move from the self hosted WCF project to an IIS project?

There are a few challenges here. Web projects aren’t really projects in a typical VS way. Meaning in 2005 there was an effort to create a projectless project. This means there are several VS infrastructure Services missing. However, that’s ok, as it just means you have to use some best practices to make this work.

If you create a Class Library project, use the Sync Designer to target the Server Config items at this Class Library, then what you can do is simply add the class library dll to your web project. You can do WCF Web projects, or even do the old tried and true Web Service project and simply wrap the calls with “Web Methods”.

Make sense?

I've followed the example and have it working. The challenge I have is now deploying it to work on our iis server. Any tips on how to deploy this solution so it will work on iis and not jus the dev box?

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

As the name would imply, it really didn't meet ship quality names :). The type we shipped was named:

Microsoft.Synchronization.Data.ServerSyncProviderProxy

I've published a sample here that includes all the RTM code.

With the release of vs2008 there doesn't seem to be an implementation of OrganicOnion?..

How can I use Syn Services with wcf services???

Thanks

Chris

Sorry Bob,

I might have breezed over this step too quickly in the screencast. In Beta 2, the WCF service doesn't really self host properly. The way I get it to work is to set the WCF Service project as the startup project. I then hit CTRL+F5 to start without debugging. This frees Visual Studio from actually running the WCF Service. With the WCF Service running, decoupled from VS, I then set my client app as the startup project, and add the WCF reference to the now running WCF Service. I can then hit F5 and debug my app, that communicates with the self hosted WCF Service.

The WCF team is planning on getting this fully functional in RTM.

Hope this helps,

Steve
