| Generates service model code from metadata documents and metadata documents from service model code.
|
| Creates and modifies configuration settings for WCF services.
|
| Helps you view, group, and filter trace messages so that you can diagnose, repair, and verify issues with WCF services.
|
| Configures basic WS-AtomicTransaction support settings using a command line tool.
|
| Configures basic WS-AtomicTransaction support settings using a MMC snap-in.
|
| Hosts WCF services contained in libraries (*.dll) files
|
| A GUI tool that allows you to input parameters of arbitrary types, submit that input to the service, and view the response the service sends back.
|
| Visual Studio 2005 shipped with a very nice feature called debugger visualizers. In accordance with their names,
debugger visualizers allow you to visually view useful information about objects during debug. |
| The Web Service Software Factory (also known as the Service Factory) is an integrated collection of tools, patterns, source code and prescriptive guidance. It is designed to help you quickly and consistently construct WCF and ASMX Web services that adhere to well known architecture and design patterns. |
| Welcome to the patterns & practices Improving Web Services Security: Scenarios and Implementation Guidance for WCF project site! This guide shows you how to make the most of WCF (Windows Communication Foundation). With end-to-end application scenarios, it shows you how to design and implement authentication and authorization in WCF. Learn how to improve the security of your WCF services through prescriptive guidance including guidelines, Q&A, practices at a glance, and step-by-step how tos. It's a collaborative effort between patterns & practices, WCF team members, and industry experts. This guide is related to our WCF Security Guidance Project. |
| Imagine an online casino, needing to clear transactions at end of day. The clearing service needs to collect transaction data from the database, populated by all Poker servers, and Blackjack servers. Now the Reporting service needs to receive a huge DataTable, consisting of all online gaming transactions. It is very likely that the transport will fail, because the DataTable is tremendous.
When transporting large DataTables between a Server and a remote Client, there are several issues; that stem from .NET serialization.

| With various .NET technologies such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Language Integrated Query (LINQ) made available today, it can be quite a confusing task to put all of them into an Enterprise Architecture. Most available samples are focused on demonstrating a technology's capabilities and very few focused on the whole picture.
Layered Architecture Sample is created to demonstrate how we can apply some of these .NET technologies with the Layered Architecture design pattern. It is a simple example that illustrates the factoring of responsibilities and separation of concerns into multiple layers in an enterprise application. As the name implies, the main focus of the sample is "How to code the layers?" and not the actual functionality of the chosen Expense application. The Expense Business Process Flow was chosen simply because it is widely used and easiest to understand. |
| This tool takes a WCF trace file and a WCF client proxy, or a WCF interface contract, and generates a unit test that replays the same sequence of calls found in the trace file. The code generated is easily modifiable so that data variation can be introduced for the purpose of doing performance testing.
The tool generates code for both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008. It also installs a wizard into both editions of Visual Studio for creating the trace and processing it from inside Visual Studio. If both editions are present the tool is installed into both editions. The source code is a Visual Studio 2005 project. |
