Wow, a conference that lasts 8 days, that a first. So here’s the gist of what I taught in 5 of these days: What’s new in WCF 4.5 In this 1-hour session I covered some of the important new features of WCF 4.5, such as Intellisense for configuration, UDP and WebSockets bindings, and improved support for streaming and compression. Debugging the Web with Fiddler In this 1-day tutorial we saw how to use Fiddler to debug, test, and improve Web application. We saw how to work with the session list, use...
As promised in my previous post , I’m continuing my mission to inform you of new changes in WCF 4.5. This is the ninth post in the WCF 4.5 series. This post continues the previous posts on web-hosting features, and this time it is about the improved streaming capabilities of WCF when it is hosted in IIS. Previous posts: 1. What’s new in WCF 4.5? let’s start with WCF configuration 2. What’s new in WCF 4.5? a single WSDL file 3. What’s new in WCF 4.5? Configuration tooltips and intellisense in config...
If you’ve been wondering where I disappeared to in the last couple of weeks, and if you are still waiting anxiously for my next post about WCF 4.5, fear not, I’m here, I’m alive, and I’m still kicking. It’s been quite a rough month, as I have been occupied knee deep in home renovations. If you’ve ever dealt with contractors, technicians, and handyman, you know the type of frustration I’m talking about. Between re-tiling my floors, replacing my kitchen cabinets, and re-painting my entire home, I also...

This is the fifth post in the WCF 4.5 series. This time we will demonstrate one of the new cool features of WCF 4.5 and IIS hosting – creating an endpoint that supports multiple authentication types. Note : The authentication mechanism in the following post refers to client authentication used in the HTTP transport (the Authorization HTTP header), either when using a secured transport (HTTPS) or a non-secured transport (HTTP).

I was asked today whether you can find out who was the last person to change the IIS 7.5 configuration files in case someone made a mess with the configuration. This question is a decade-old question that bothers developers and IT all around the world - “Who touched my stuff?” When talking about code changes in your applications, it is quite easy to open the source control tool you are using (VSS, SVN, ClearCase, TFS…) and search the history list for the person who recently changed the files. When...
A few days ago I posted about the missing documentation about ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectLimit and that its default value is not always 2 (the value actually depends on the target server, if it’s a remote server or your localhost). Yesterday, after my advanced WCF course , I got an email from one of the attendees that pointed out that indeed the default value is 2 for remote servers, but only in desktop applications (console, win forms…). In WCF services that are hosted in a web application...
