A blog on BizTalk, written by the team itself.

When you enable default messaging logging using SvcConfigEditor.exe in the Feb CTP bits, it injects the wrong source name. It uses "System.ServiceModel.Channels .MessageLogging" when it should be "System.ServiceModel.MessagingLo gging". If you simply...

This is one my favorite WCF features that I've stumbled across lately. Kenny was the first to mention it on his blog. It basically solves the challenge of generating a "unique" address for an endpoint when you don't know what's already in use. Here's...

Before the Feb bits, WCF came with one new serializer called DataContractSerializer (DCS). However, DCS came with two modes: SharedContract and SharedType. The modes reflected whether you were planning to share the schema contract across the wire or the...

I love the title and the basic premise for teaching computer science and programming. I wonder if the book is any good. Nevertheless, the principle applies to all types of programming technology. As Joel put it, "Abstractions save us time working, but...

Those who know me are familiar with my fondness for XSD validation in the context of Web services. I wrote about it quite a bit for ASMX and shipped some sample validation extensions that made it easy to turn on XSD or business rules (via XPath assertions...

As several folks have already pointed out, BTS 2006 RTM'ed a few weeks ago. It's available for download from the MSDN subscriptions site and I believe a trial version is found on the public Web. The team deserves some serious kudos for the polish they...

One of the most popular questions around ServiceHost is where do you store the "base address" value in the WCF configuration section. There answer is "you don't". At first, I found this to be a strange omission, but after discussing it more with some...

In light of this discussion on serialization and element order, I thought it might be interesting to point out how DataContractSerializer (DCS), previously known as XmlFormatter, works in WCF. First, XmlSerializer (from .NET 1.1 and 2.0) serializes data...

Craig recently wrote about his experiences using a contract-first approach to building Web Services. He called it The Perils of WSDL First . Craig essentially urges anyone starting with WSDL to implement IXmlSerializable on their types given the lack...

A few weeks ago I was teaching our WCF course at a client site and I decided to do an example of real-world interoperability by having a WCF client application integrate with the eBay SOAP API . Little did I know at the time how much fun awaited me. After...

Our new WCF course, Introducing Windows Communication Foundation , is off and running. All slides/labs are currently built on the Feb CTP bits. Future course offering will be in sync with the latest WCF release. The last course offering, towards the of...

WCF provides built-in tracing at both the transport/application levels along with a helpful viewer program (SvcTraceViewer.exe). The problem with it's built-in "transport" tracing is that it traces the message just before it's written to the wire or just...

I've been anticipating the release of the Google Calendar -- it's finally available to the public. Calendar is main reason I launch Outlook 2003 these days. I've never found the mainstream online calendars to be very useful so I've been interested to...
