One of the core components in WCF Contrib is the ‘ClientChannel’ which handles the client side proxy creation and management, allowing you to easily call services, with the addition of environment support, using using, and comprehensive behaviors extensions model. Currently, the built-in Client Channels can be instantiated with a configuration name which it loads the ChannelFactory with. A common question is, how can you use the Client Channel if you like to instantiate the ChannelFactory in code...
Make sure you visit WCF Contrib home . This release adds core optimizations and internal fixes to the infrastructure. There are no breaking changes from the last version, only internal improvements. In previous versions you may have encountered synchronization related errors such as recursive write/read locking. These issues were resolved and you should no longer experience that. This release is highly recommended over previous versions, make sure you use this one.
We all know Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework had been released during the last week.. I’ve compiled WCF Contrib v2.1 in .NET 4.0 to be available for download if you need - wcfcontrib.mar07.binaries.4.0.zip
A new release had been published - WCF Contrib v2.1 Mar07 . This release is the final version of v2.1 Beta that was published on February 10th, you can check the entire updates made from v2.0 further in this post . You can distinguish between this release and the v2.1 Beta Feb10 by checking the assembly file version, in this release it was incremented to v2.1.0.1. Changes from v2.1 Feb10 Beta : There is a one small change which is a breaking change for those who used the asynchronous invocation pattern...
I decided to blog about common questions I receive regarding WCF Contrib. You can find all questions in the WCF Contrib FAQ . Communication Patterns What's the best practice for web applications that call services? Research has shown that in concurrent environments such as web it is more scalable and has better performance to use a dedicated communication object per a sequence of invocations (sequential - one call after another in the same execution chain flow). It's important to note that...
Via http://wcfcontrib.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=ClientChannelOutputCache Output Cache Provider Factory This is the factory class that is responsible for creating the actual output cache provider. This is where you extensibility point kicks in, you can replace the built-in factory with your own, read about it here . The factory needs to have a public parameter-less constructor and implement 'IOutputCacheProviderFactory' public interface IOutputCacheProviderFactory { IOutputCacheProvider...
Via http://wcfcontrib.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=ClientChannelOutputCache . A new feature that arrived at WcfContrib v2.1 Feb10 Beta. You can use the output caching to cache the operation output with the setting of your desire. This is extremely useful and may save you quite some time from building client caching stores. The built-in mechanism implemented here is In-Proc in-memory cache using the synchronized dictionary that comes with WcfContrib as well. You can fully customize it and change the...

I am happy to announce a new version of WcfContrib was published today. It has been tested and it is stable. However, there were some core optimizations so this is considered to be a small test-run to make sure it is alright before tagging it as a stable release. Please provide feedback, your input is important. Changes from last version : New Output Caching module for Client Channel – Very useful feature! New behavior attributes and extension elements (ActivationContextInitializerAttribute, ActivationContextExtensionBehaviorElement...
It's been ages since my last post, I feel so bad about it. I've been swamped at work, I hope I will get the blogging frenzy again soon :) I'm very glad to announce a new release of WcfContrib ! New stuff: Client Channel - Closes channels asynchronously after invoking O/W operations (Check the post WCF OneWay - Abort or Not regarding why) Service Extensions - Mocking & Tracing with the ability to trigger from the client side Configuration-less Services Integrated Endpoint and Binding...
This release delivers a better packaged assembly. XML documentation was added, showcases don't require password for compiling the solution (because of the key file) Context extensions were added - Session and Call carried items similar to ASP.NET. Wcf Contrib
There was a problem with the zipped archive with the showcases (In the Downloads section) It was fixed, please download it again if you wish.
I am thrilled to announce the first release of WCF Contrib. The project can be found here: WCF Contrib at CodePlex There are a log of useful extensions and components for you to use with WCF communications, be sure to check it out. There's a lot to come in future releases too.
