One of the many new WCF features in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is a mechanism to control whether the built-in WCF test host application (WcfSvcHost.exe) should automatically launch when debugging other projects in a solution. Prior to this release, there was no way to control this without disabling WcfSvcHost...

My latest Service Station column is now online -- it's called WCF Addressing In-Depth . It starts out by reviewing WCF addressing fundamentals and then it quickly dives into IIS addressing considerations, multiple endpoints, unique vs. shared addresses, logical vs. physical addresses, addressing headers...

One of the most common questions I get while teaching WCF is "how does WCF stack-up against the existing distributed technology stacks (ASMX, WSE, COM+, .NET Remoting) in terms of performance and throughput?" This whitepaper , written by Saurabh Gupta, offers some answers. [Via Paul Andrew ] I love the...

My latest Service Station column recently hit the Web on the MSDN Magazine site -- it's called WCF Messaging Fundamentals -- it covers the ins-and-outs of lower-level WCF message processing. It starts by explaining the .NET 3.0 updates to System.Xml that allow for multiple byte-level representations...

Make sure you check out Kenny's post here . He discusses an issue with the base MessageEncodingBindingElement and provides the boilerplate code that you must write any time you write a subclass. And this issue may not be possible to fix in the next release.

As you can see from my previous post , I'm really digg'in InfoPath 2007 right now. However, one thing I've been thinking about is how hard it would be to host InfoPath 2007 forms engine in a custom app, either via a rich Winforms application or a lighter-weight Web form. It turns out InfoPath Server...

As some of you probably know, I've been a big fan of InfoPath since it first came out . What type of XML aficionado wouldn't love a product like that? Recently I've been digging into InfoPath 2007 along with the new Forms Server 2007 or Forms Services (packaged in SharePoint 2007 ). Compelling is an...

Although somewhat stale news , I thought I should mention here that my article on the The Service Factory for WCF has hit the Web . Check out Don Smith's blog for his recent announcement on the December release -- he outlines the new features they nailed and tells you what they're working on next. They...

One of the articles I mentioned here just shipped in the December issue of MSDN Magazine (see the Service Station column) and it's now online for public consumption. Enjoy.
