| In this podcast, Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell get into the WCF experience. |
| In this podcast, associate editor Brian Eastwood chats with Craig McMurtry about the address-binding-contract model and other basics for working with this new technology. McMurtry also tells readers where to find the most up-to-date WCF resources. |
| Just before TechEd this summer, Clemens Vasters walked TheServerSide.NET through a brief overview of aspects of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). |
| Aaron Saikovski on WCF and file streaming using a chunking mechanism. |
| Carl and Richad talk to MLB about the state of Windows Communication Foundation (code name: Indigo). If you are designing a webservices-based (or distributed) system now, you should be using WCF. Michele also talks about SOA reality, and of course ends the show with a signature joke. |
| In this great episode of Dot Net Rocks, Michele returns once again to discuss WSE, Indigo, and Security. In particular, she discusses the challenges around keeping keys and tokens secure.

| Hear an overview of using WCF for application integration with Microsoft Office client and server products. Then learn how you can use WCF-based adapters for integration between your LOB applications and Microsoft Office business applications, and how to develop Web parts that utilize custom adapters for accessing business data. |
| Learn how to configure transaction flow at the binding, contract, and service level, local versus distributed transactions, setting of service transactions, declarative voting, and the available configurations that best fit various application scenarios. |
| Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides a rich messaging framework that extends beyond its capabilities for modeling and implementing services. One of the aspects where WCF really shines when compared with competitive Web services stacks is its rich extensibility model that allows developers to customize the default behavior of the framework. The better we understand the WCF extensibility model the better chance we have to make the right use of WCF in real-world applications. In this webcast, we dive deeply into the WCF extensibility model, detailing the different extensibility points of WCF subsystems such as Channels, Hosting, Security, Metadata, Encoding, and others. Specifically, we provide practical demonstrations of how custom channels, behaviors, operation invokers, authorization managers, and metadata extensions can be used to extend WCF effectively without affecting the consistency of the programming model. We also highlight a set of best practices developers should consider to address their specific scenarios properly when extending WCF. Original Broadcast Date: Friday, July 11, 2008 |
| The combination of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) provides the building block for the next generation of Microsoft .NET applications. With the release of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, developers now have multiple alternatives to build applications that combine WCF and WF. In this webcast, we illustrate some of the most common scenarios for integrating WCF and WF, and we explore mechanisms such as Durable Services, Workflow Services, rules-based authorization, line-of-business workflows, and other mechanisms that are best implemented by combining WCF and WF. We also share a series of best practices and techniques that developers can follow in order to implement a seamless integration between WCF and WF. Original Broadcast Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 |
| Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is more than just the next-generation platform for building connected systems. In many respects, WCF is the next development platform for Windows-based applications, providing system features that are presently crafted by hand on top of the Microsoft .NET Framework and the Windows operating system. In this webcast, we describe the power and productivity of WCF and demonstrate how it is a "better .NET Framework. " We focus on the key system features of WCF so you can make educated decisions on aligning your product road map with WCF and assess the advantages of using WCF. We begin the webcast with a brief overview of WCF and the WCF architecture, and then we demonstrate data contract tolerance, instance management, transaction propagation, automatic synchronization, queued calls, and automatic security.
