My colleague Michael Washam posted a nice article about how to call a WCF web service from a SharePoint Web Part using Javascript. How to call a WCF web service from SharePoint ....( read more )

Welcome back to the WCF screencast series! After a short vacation covering WF topics, we return to WCF for the latest video in the weekly WF/WCF Screencast series. In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to create your first WCF client application that consumes an existing WCF service (see the screencasts covering the creation of a WCF service and how to create endpoints for more details). We add the service to the client application using the WCF

I'm probably not going to have too much time to attend talks at PDC, but one talk that would be high on my list is the one that Dr. Allen blogs about here , where he talks about the Zen of WCF Performance and Scale.  I like "Zen" style talks, especially for topics like performance and scale.  Sure, I could go and listen for 75 minutes for tips and tricks that may be applicable to my scenario, but this is giving you a fish.  Having a 75 minute conversation about how to think

Just got the email the other day that PDC is less than 4 weeks away, and it got me thinking a bit about how I would think about these sessions as an attendee.  Searching on the PDC site will yield 8 talks tagged with WF.   Here's how I break some of these these down, the first few are about using WF, and the last 3 are about WF itself: Hosting Workflows and Services Dan Eshner Hear about extensions being made to Windows Server to provide a feature-rich middle-tier execution and deployment

Steve Martin , a director of product management for CSD, has a blog post containing more information on the work that we are doing for the next versions of WF and WCF that we will release as a CTP at PDC.  He also introduces "Dublin," the name for our efforts around creating a manageable and scalable host for WF and WCF applications, something that I know a few customers would be interested in.  For you WF and WCF fans, there some more information about some of the features that

RESTful services expose more than just GET. Many times, we also have to expose the capability to insert, update and delete. There are many differing opinions on how inserts, updates and deletes should be modeled in a "RESTful" architecture. This screencast illustrates one such model and further shows how to implement this model with WCF 3.5. Join Rob Bagby as he shows you how to implement a HI-REST service utilizing PUT for inserts and updates. Future deCasts will illustrate other models.

Part 1 part 2 Part 3 Part 4 You may recall my previous posts about using the TransactionScopeActivity within a ReceiveActivity and all the nasty issues we ran into. Just in case you want to read them again: one , two and three . As it turn out this is an intentionally not supported scenario at the moment. If we read the docs for the ReceiveActivity we can find the following note: To ensure that persistence performs properly and does not persist transient messages, make sure that child activities

WCF 3.5 provides the ability to easily expose services to AJAX client applications. Specifically, the webHttpBinding has an "AJAX-Friendly" endpoint behavior. What do I mean by "AJAX-Friendly"? To me, it means that we will create a client proxy that knows how to call your service from an AJAX client. What used to take dozens, if not hundreds, of lines of code now takes 3. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how this works in great detail.
