As Cliff announces , CSD is partnering up with my friends Aaron and the PluralSight folks on a new weekly .NET developer screencast series to show how to accomplish tasks in WF/WCF 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. This week, for the inaugural screencast, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard walks you through how to create your first WCF Service . The screencast guides the viewer through creating the service from scratch in VS2008 - defining a data contract, a service contract, and testing/hosting the service in VS2008. Cool! Read More...

As I listed in this post on the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 , there are a bunch of significant additions to WCF in SP1. The list looks pretty focused towards REST services and the Web. It's no secret that many developers are looking to REST and the simpler programming model for Web applications. In this regard, Microsoft is perhaps playing catch up here adding first-class REST features alongside the premier WS-* features. With WCF being extensible this has been fairly simple and has resulted in a single framework for building services that allows us developers to target both SOAP and REST based services. I think the really cool thing, is that since a WCF Service can expose multiple endpoints, its a snap to expose both a SOAP/WS-* endpoint and a REST endpoint. In other words, the same service functionality over both endpoints. This is low cost and itterative way to get into REST. You don't have to fight between the two, Indigo lets you use both with much of the same concepts you have already learned. Read More...

Of course, this is so much more than a Service Pack with the release now of ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) and the Entity Framework among others. In my area of interest, CSD, there are some significant changes for REST programming (1st class citizen now) as well as some other additions: There were several enhancements to WCF in .NET Framework SP1 that make it easier for developers to build and deploy a broader, more scalable set of Web Services: Improvements in writing REST based services ranging from easily supporting ServiceDocuments publication and consumption to providing greater control and usability of UriTemplate. Expanding the reach of the DataContract Serializer by relaxing the need of having [DataContract]/ [DataMember] on types and by supporting an interoperable mechanism for dealing with object references Support for ADO.NET Entity Framework types in WCF contracts Scalability increases of 5X - 10X are available for WCF services hosted in IIS7-integrated mode. Improvements to the tools for developing, testing, and hosting Web services. Improved Partial Trust Debugging Experience with support for writing to the Event Log. If you previously installed a Visual Studio 2008 Hotfix, you must run the Hotfix Cleanup Utility before installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 . For more information, see Visual Studio 2008 Hotfix Cleanup Utility for Installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 .

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...

BizTalk AND WCF WCF fits nicely into the BT architecture Both have pluggable protocol stacks WCF Receieve Adapters expose WCF endpoints Messages routed to BT via BT Adapter API HTTP based binding are isolated (run in W3WP.exe) Send Adapters build a dynamic Channel Stack No proxy needed in Orchestration or Send Port ala SOAP Adapter Configuration stored with Receieve Location or Send Port instead of app config file Use same WCF config for supported features One adapter per supported OOB Binding WCF Adapters WCF-NetTcp (In Process) WCF-WsHttp (Isolated) WCF-NetNamedPipe WCF-BasicHttp WCF-NetMsmq WCF-Custom WCF-CustomIsolated 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...

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. I will be be taking my Advanced WCF: Asynchronous Messaging and Event-Driven Architectures talk to the July 31st meeting of PhillyNJ, which is a sub-chapter of the excellent Philly.NET group . I am real pleased, that my friend, Hilary Cotter, is speaking first on SQL Replication for Developers. Come on out!! Hilary Cotter - SQL Replication for Developers In this session SQL Server MVP and replication guru Hilary Cotter explains the essentials of SQL Server replication for developers. Hilary covers replication concepts, what technology is a best fit for data distribution, application considerations, and the new Sync Services in VS/SQL 2008. This is a high level session designed to help you get productive and presents material in both tsql and c# code. Hilary has been involved in IT for over 20 years. He is a SQL Server consultant specializing in search and replication solutions. He wrote a book on SQL Server replication and is currently working on a SQL Server 2008 Administration book and another book on SQL Server Read More...

WF/CSD WF can be a tricky thing. As Cliff blogs , the CSD folks have added two great prescriptive guidance articles for WF to the MSDN Online Library : an article by Jon Flanders to help choose between sequential workflows and state machines, and a major article by Michele Leroux Bustamante explaining the five most common WF deployment scenarios. Read Cliff's blog for more details and the links.

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.
