WCF Send Adapters Each receive adapter has a corresponding Send adapter Except WCF-CustomIsolated Send Adapters build up a channel stack dynamically Using generic contract definitions and ChannelFactory Channel Stack built based on Send Port config No way (or need) to specify contract Outbound message just has to match remote adapter Policies need to match Technorati Tags: BizTalk Server , WCF Read More...

What is WCF? Again, Microsoft's next way of distributed dev technology "open up your mind" - not just WS-* - universal framework to communicate with anything Reminiscing about DCOM :) ah, DCOMCONFIG If (DeveloperTask==Communication && OS==Windows) - love it! Stack extremely pluggable WCF Channels WCF communicates using a set if objects that work together in a cooperative manner to implement a particular communication requirement Objects are referred to generally as "Channels" A set of Channel objects is known as a "Channel Stack" Infrastructure identical on client and server Technorati Tags: BizTalk Server , WCF Read More...

I have been real busy, among other things, doing a full review and change cycle on my Asynchronous Messaging and Event-Driven Architecture talk that I am doing tonight . The entire deck has changed. There has been even more strides towards full asynchronous messaging. To that end, I have worked with the CSD folks to truly understand the behavior of the One Way messaging and its implications on blocking/asynchronous behavior. I will present those findings tonight. Silverlight My friend Ambrose , and crew is working on Silverlight 2 Programmer's Reference and it seems Wrox has started a similar program to Manning called Wrox First The excellent Concepts To Become a Silverlight Master series that I referenced before now has added a Part 3 - Blend and a Part 4 - Security . Great stuff. Silverlight Cream for July 30, 2008 -- #338 and Silverlight Cream for July 30, 2008 - 2 -- #339 WCF/BizTalk WCF - Issue with Secure Conversation in Web Farms Chris Romp has compiled an excellent Self Study list for BizTalk For those expert BizTalk developers, QuickLearn has unveiled a BizTalk expert series training For those not yet expert, like myself, a reminder on the Pluralsight course next week in NYC with Jon Flanders that I am taking Technorati Tags: Silverlight , BizTalk , WCF , New and Notable Read More...

I mentioned that I was looking for new opportunitie s but I have decided to concentrate my independent Microsoft .NET consulting on all things Connected Systems and Messaging. I see many shops around the country struggling with WCF and WF. In this area, I have been a part of the WCF and WF SDRs for 4 years now since the beginning and part of the large 2-year WCF and WF effort at Algorithmics. I am available, on a consulting basis , to help you with your WCF, WF and BizTalk needs. In addition, I believe that WCF is too low-level and difficult for many shops that are pursuing Services and SOA beyond a few causal services. To that end, I am an authorized representative for Neuron ESB and it's place in accelerating your WCF and SOA efforts. Using my 26 years in the industry, I can help you look at your Architecture and find ways to make it better. Not only that, but I can help ensure you are on the right path for Oslo. If you are interested, please respond here or email to managedcode44 AT hotmail. Please do not use that email for unrelated questions - that's what the comments and newsgroups are for.

Visual Studio Peter says he is hooked on Brad Wilson's Dark Visual Studio color scheme and so am I! I am using it 100% now. An Amazing Introduction to NDepend BizTalk/WCF/WF/SOA My friend Jesus Rodriguez has a WCF extensibility deep dive on MSDN this Friday I listened in to Jon Flanders Workflow Services one today which was excellent The new Microsoft BizTalk Server Performance Optimization Guide has been released to the web. This document provides guidance & best practices on optimizing BizTalk Server performance for demanding production environments. Dr Nick has a post on Configuring SSL Host Headers on IIS . Host Headers in IIS are a way to associate multiple names with a single address. I have spent much of the past year explaining EDA and its relationship to SOA in my talks. My current talk is all about this. IBM SOA Guru Bobby Woolf puts it this way , "So, EDA and SOA: SOA determines what gets done, EDA is one way to determine when it gets done. Nice simple explanation." Technorati Tags: Visual Studio , BizTalk , WCF , WF , SOA , New and Notable Read More...

I have been giving an SOA talk, in various forms for several years, where I concentrate on various themes. For the benefit of many who have not gone to such talks, as well as for others, I always wanted to start a written series based on these talks. Since, I can't sleep tonight, this is Part 1. In this series, I would like to discuss a lot of concepts that are not tied to any particular technology stack whatsoever . SOA requires a Paradigm Shift in thinking and I am very interested in getting people there. Chief, among these ideas is that People Drive Business Outcomes, not technology. Thus, there are people and business drivers for SOA. Doing SOA for the sake of doing SOA or for some technology exercise is very likely to fail. We will use Microsoft Infrastructure Optimization (IO) to measure, yes measure the value of the business enablers in the context of a maturity model. Rather than being vague guidelines, we will instead have ways to measure business drivers and then the services that meet them into the context of creating a more dynamic IT. However, as we delve into implementation, I will need to use a stack, and I will use Indigo. Yes, say it with me. The W-C-F is silent. It's pronounced "Indigo." Examples will be all with .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 1 and Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1. At that point, I envision the series moving more into how Indigo is a framework or platform for creating SOA. As WCF is THE one Microsoft distributed stack to rule them all (among Read More...

Last N&N was on the 9th and I don't know if I will able to maintain the series. I am extremely busy, and traveling on multiple projects. I also am not sure that my interests are what the current .NET blogging climate and community want to hear about but I will see how it goes for now. If you would like to post a reply on the worth of the series for you personally, it certainly wouldn't hurt :) BizTalk/BizTalk Server Via Marjan , BizTalk Hotrod Issue 3 is now ready. You can pull your copy down from: BizTalk Hotrod Issue 3# Paul Petrov has an interesting post on using Generics for a Message Broker pattern WCF Orcas Dynamic Relay Endpoints in a Duplex Workflow Service Custom Password Validation for HTTP (very timely for something I am doing) A Follow-Up on PIAB+WCF Integration Steve Maines provides a very valuable service in collecting all the WCF Web Programming Model Documentation in one place IT Cautious Tech Spending in 2008? Lots of people are saying so SOA Following the above, ZapThink thinks that an economic downturn and cautious tech spending are good news for SOA. I think so too. They echo the Agility argument. If there is less spending, consolidation of existing IT assets, all those are reason for creating a more Agile and efficient IT to support a business that responds quicker than the competitors. Forrester's John Rymer and Mike Gilpin have written an extensive analysis of the overlaps and of which products are likely to prevail in Read More...

We are running our developer conference again three times this year. This is all on Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 technologies you need in order to be productive like LINQ, Silverlight, ADO.NET Entity Framework, WCF, and SQL Server 2008. I will be speaking at the NYC event on Real World SOA, WCF and WF. When Thursday, February 21st, 2008 8:30am-5:00pm Breakfast and lunch will be provided Where New York Marriott East Side 525 Lexington Ave. at 49th St. New York, NY 10017 [see map] Cost $75 per person Includes sessions, attendee bag, t-shirt, breakfast, lunch, and raffle tickets <>Break </> Three Tracks: Visual Studio 2008 SQL 2008 IO 9:45a -11:00a Session 1 LINQ The upcoming release of Visual Studio 2008 includes significant updates to the Visual Basic and C# languages. The most significant of these enhancements is Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which adds general-purpose query syntax to the Visual Basic and C# languages. Using LINQ, you can query collections, databases, and XML content using a clear and consistent syntax. This talk will describe LINQ, including LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, and LINQ to Objects. We’ll also spend some time on some fundamental changes to C# that enable LINQ, such as anonymous types, extension methods, and Lambda expressions.

I haven't found much in the last 5 days that is New and Notable but here is a few items of interest. BizTalk Server/Connected Systems/WCF/CSD/WF Our own Brian Loesgen did a presentation on a deck that he had been circulating internally (it is cool to work with these people in our Connected Systems!) on BizTalk Best Practices. He did this for attended the Connected Systems SIG meeting of the San Diego .NET User Group . Check out the post for links as well! Dr. Nick outlines What's New in Orcas from the CSD standpoint Sharepoint Here's a neat post on integrating Virtual Earth Maps into Sharepoint . I am working on a project that uses Neuron to connect up various Legacy Web Services between disparate systems and potentially does positioning via Virtual Earth maps in Sharepoint so this is timely Software Development/C++ Microsoft launched the Windows SDK MSDN Developer Center Soma announces the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack with support for the few still stuck with native libraries Other link blogs (via Jason ) Jason - Interesting Finds Jan 8, 2008 Matt - 23 Links Today (2008-01-07) Alvin Ashcraft - Daily Bits - January 8, 2008 Mike Gunderloy - Double Shot #119 and WWD Coffee Break - Search, Disposable Email & A Bad Day Christopher Steen - Link Listing - January 7, 2008 Arjan Zuidhof - LINKBLOG for January 7, 2008 Technorati Tags: Neudesic , BizTalk , BizTalk Server , CSD , Connected Systems , Sharepoint , WCF , WF , Software Development , C++ Read More...

A reminder for those in the area is that I will be doing an Advanced WCF talk at Philly Code Camp 2008.1 will be held on Saturday, January 12th at DeVry University in Fort Washington, PA . We have 8 tracks and 48 sessions!! It's all sold out but at least I know one guy who is looking forward to hearing me speak :) Neudesic is a Gold Sponsor again. Please come see our booth and talk to us. Not only do we want to be active in the local community but we also want to talk to developers that want to join our fast growing team! Title : Advanced WCF: Asynchronous Messaging and Event-Driven Architectures Abstract: Many WCF developers start and end with the Request/Response Message Exchange Pattern. In actuality, there is a wide variety of Message Exchange Patterns cataloged by Hohpe and Woolfe in books like “Enterprise Integration Patterns” and Pattern & Practices “Integration Patterns.” In this advanced talk, that starts where most WCF talks leave off, we will show you how to build more loosely-coupled services and systems via these MEPs and with WCF. We will then focus on the powerful List-Based Publish/Subscribe Design Pattern. Upon showing how many lines of WCF code are required to implement the pattern in WCF, we will show the pattern as the basis for the Neuron ESB and achieve the same results with zero code. We will then focus on Mediation and how ESBs help mediate between disparate services. Bio: Sam Gentile is the SOA Practice Lead for Neudesic, Read More...
