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...
If you’ve been checking my blog in the last couple of weeks, you might have noticed I haven’t been posting much. In the past two months I have been traveling around the world, speaking in conferences and local user groups. So to sum up this intensive, fun times, here’s a list of all conferences I visited and links to all the material I showed. What’s new in WCF 4.5 Building scalable, low-latency web apps with Windows Azure Embracing HTTP with the ASP.NET Web API You can download the slides and code...
It’s time for post No. 12 in the WCF 4.5 series. Part 1 of 2 was about WebSocket support with SOAP-based messages. Part 2 is about WebSocket support with plain text messages that enables the interaction between web browsers and WCF. 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 files 4. What’s new in WCF 4.5? Configuration validations 5. What’s new...
This is the 11th post in the WCF 4.5 series. The previous post was about the new UDP transport support, and this new post is also about new transports – the WebSocket transport. This post is part 1 of 2. This post will be about the WebSocket support between .NET apps using WCF (SOAP-based), and the next post will be about using WebSockets between browsers and WCF (non-SOAP).

This is the tenth post in the WCF 4.5 series. I’ve started this series of posts 4 months ago when .NET 4.5 developer preview was announced; The Beta/RC/RTM version is still to come, but hopefully it will be available soon, and you will be able to use the new WCF 4.5 features in your projects. Until now, I’ve shown new features in configuration easiness and hosting improvements. In this post and the next one I will cover new transport features, starting with the support for the UDP transport. Previous...
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...
Today I delivered a half-day talk about WCF on the following subjects: The new features of WCF 4.5 We talked about configuration simplicity, WebSocket and UDP support, streaming fixes for IIS, binary compression, and more. Monitoring and troubleshooting WCF services (WCF 3.5/4/4.5) We talked about performance counters, ETW, WMI, AppFabric, sniffing tools, tracing and message logging, instancing, concurrency, load tests and more. According to the events website at http://events.microsoft.com , it...
This is the eighth post in the WCF 4.5 series. This post continues the previous posts on web-hosting features. This post is about the ASP.NET compatibility mode default change of WCF 4.5.

Yesterday I had my WCF 4 session in VS Live, where I showed some of the new features of WCF 4, including: Configuration simplification IIS hosting features WebHttp improvements Routing services Discovery services I also talked a bit about some other new WCF 4 features such as the DataContractResolver type, the new ReceiveContext API for MSMQ bindings, Monitoring WCF with ETW and PerfMon, the new binary stream encoder, and the new throttling defaults. Those of you who stayed till the end also heard...
This is the seventh post in the WCF 4.5 series. In previous posts we’ve examined two new security features of WCF 4.5 and IIS – multiple client credentials support, and default HTTPS endpoint support, both new features are IIS-specific (or to be more exact, web hosting specific). In this post we will look into a new security configuration option in WCF 4.5 – the BasicHttpsBinding. 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...
This is the sixth post in the WCF 4.5 series. In the previous post we’ve discussed new authentication features for services hosted in IIS, and this post is continuing the new IIS hosting features list - automatic HTTPS endpoints 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?

This is the fourth post in the WCF 4.5 series, and a direct addition to the previous post, since I neglected to mention something important about editing configuration files in WCF 4.5 and Visual Studio 11 – validations during editing and compilation. 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 files In my last post I mentioned the problems we face...
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). Previous posts: 1. What’s new in WCF 4.5? let’s start with WCF configuration...
This is the third post in the WCF 4.5 series, and we’re still in the subject of configuration, but this time is about intellisense and tooltips in configuration files. 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 One of the things that is truly annoying in WCF is the part of configuring the service using configuration files - you have to remember a lot of things by heart and type them without intellisense: Service/contract...
