A little while ago I ran into an interesting set of errors that may be of interest to you. Consider the following service contract snippet: [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate= "foobar/{value}" )] String GetData(String value ); .csharpcode, Read More...

Life of a WCF Demo, Part 1
22 January 08 03:24 PM | justinjsmith | 2 Comments   
I thought it might be mildly interesting to document the lifecycle of a demo. Over the next week or so I have to design, build, and deploy a demo that shows off some of the web-centric features of WCF in the .NET Framework 3.5. First, let me state the Read More...
PictureServices and BizTalk Services
18 January 08 04:47 PM | justinjsmith | 2 Comments   
Previous posts have talked a bit about PictureServices. Now I'd like to run through what it took to bring PictureServices to the BizTalk Services. I've talked a bit in other posts about BizTalk Services, but it has some interesting and very useful messaging Read More...
XML namespace declarations in SyndicationFeed objects
16 January 08 01:12 AM | justinjsmith | 2 Comments   
Following on the heels of Steve Maine's post about namespaces in Syndication objects (Feeds, items, etc.), I thought it wise to plug the new stuff in PictureServices . At the moment, PictureServices implements SLE (Simple List Extensions), and does a Read More...
PictureServices updated to VS 2008 RTM
14 January 08 07:18 PM | justinjsmith | 3 Comments   
Today I updated PictureServices to work with the RTM release of Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.5 (what a mouthful). My testing rigor for this release was less than perfect. Please let me know if you find any bugs. For what it's worth, the Read More...
PictureServices status update
14 January 08 09:13 AM | justinjsmith | 1 Comments   
I've received several mails about PictureServices and RTM. As some of you know, the Syndication API changed before RTM. The were subtle, but they did have an impact on the Picture Services project. Specifically, the simple list extensions part of Picture Read More...
WCF Syndication article in MSDN Magazine...

It seems that the RSS/Atom article I wrote for MSDN magazine was just published: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/08/01/WCFinOrcas/default.aspx The RTM version of .NET 3.5 was not available when I wrote the article, so I avoided the extensibility Read More...
Setting HTTP Headers in WCF (.NET 3.5)
22 August 07 10:41 AM | justinjsmith | 5 Comments   
One of the cool parts of WCF in the .NET 3.5 is the simplified support of the REST architectural style. URIs, HTTP verbs, and HTTP headers are 1st class citizens in the programming model. Each of these citizens is interesting. I'll focus a bit on HTTP Read More...
Check out Picture Services

A few days ago we released a new sample called Picture Services. As the name implies, this sample centers on pictures. More specifically, it demonstrates how to use the WCF API in the .NET Framework 3.5 to syndicate images from your local machine and Read More...
ASP.NET, WCF, and Asynchronous Programming
01 August 07 02:57 PM | justinjsmith | 3 Comments   
Jeffrey Richter told me once that a CPU was a terrible thing to waste. I don't know if he was the one to coin the term - in fact, I think he told me someone else coined that term. Regardless of where it came from, the principle behind that phrase is solid. Read More...

WCF, ASP.NET AJAX, and JavaScript Proxies
23 July 07 09:35 PM | justinjsmith | 5 Comments   
I spent this weekend tinkering around with the JSON messaging capabilities of WCF new in the .NET Framework 3.5 (Orcas). The object model is changing substantially between Beta1 and Beta2, and I think the changes make for an easier to use system. To better Read More...

Syndication formats, endpoints and config files
18 July 07 10:54 AM | justinjsmith | 0 Comments   
I got a question via email today that forced me to look back through some older emails for the answer. It may make sense to share the question / answer in a broader sense. Earlier builds of Orcas surfaced a syndication format to an endpoint by way of Read More...
IBM MQ Custom Channel

I just saw a mail introducing an alpha release from IBM - an MQ series custom channel. It appears to be early stage, so don't throw this into production yet. Several have asked me if it's possible to connect WCF to MQ - my answer is yes, but it requires Read More...

WebServiceHost vs ServiceHost
02 July 07 11:59 AM | justinjsmith | 4 Comments   
WCF in .NET Fx 3.5 introduces several types that simplify the creation of services that use the protocols of the web (read REST/Syndication/JSON). Among these are two hosting types: WebServiceHost and WebScriptServiceHostFactory. These types serve the Read More...
