What's in Essential WCF?

  • Article

Now that Essential WCF is out, we're seeing interest from many places.  Rich, Chris and I were contacted by InformIT to do an interview and talk about the book.  Separately, I'm hearing from readers looking to do big and small things with the technology.  And here in Boston this week, we have a sold out Pluralsight course that covers WCF and WF.  Good fun!

    Hi, I've been working though the book and have a question regarding Concurrency (Page 190), I notice you put the service behaviour above the constructor and below the class declaration. However, visual studio won't let me do that. Is this a typo or is there something I'm doing wrong? As I want to produce an example exactly as you have described but seem to only get a maximum of 2 threads running at a time? Thanks

    On page 190, the [ServiceBehavior] tag should be above the class definition, not the constructor as you point out, so yes, that's a typo - sorry about that! When you say your'e only getting 2 threads, are you only seeing thread #1 and thread #2 in the client output? If so, what platform are you running on (XP, Vista, 2003, 2008)?

    Can  you provide explanation/errata of a part Chapter 3: Channels -- original text --- ChannelFactory<> Two classes refer to channel factories within WCF: ChannelFactory and ChannelFactory<>. They might seem similar, but they are actually separate classes that do different things. The ChannelFactory<> class is used in advanced situations where multiple clients need to be created. Essentially it works with a given ChannelFactory, but it does not have any responsibilities for creating a channel stack. The ChannelFactory<> class is used by defining the class with a specific ServiceContract type… -- end of quote --- My questions: i/ Regarding comparison "...ChannelFactory and ChannelFactory<>",  there is no non-generic ChannelFactory class.  Did you mean "...Binding and ChannelFactory<>" , or something else? ii/  Regarding "...Essentially it works with a given ChannelFactory...", this probably should say "...it works with a given Channel type..." ? Thank you for response Petr
