WCF

Tuple is a very useful type introduced in .NET Framework 4.0. This article offers an insight into the Tuple class, and shows you how to create a data structure and different ways of using it in a .NET program.

Now in WCF 4.0, developers can create services that act as a Router to route messages to other client WCF services based on the requests from the clients. This feature is called WCF Routing Service. Read this article to learn more about it.

WCF 4.0 introduces a couple of service discovery techniques that the client can use to discover services dynamically through client probing or service announcement. WCF 4.0 provides the ability of dynamic discovery, which allows the client to probe for the services or reversely the services can also announce their presence on the network. Read on to learn more.

To fully exploit Open Data Protocol (OData) with WCF Data Services there are classes and interfaces a .NET app must instantiate or implement. Using a sample WCF Data Services application, this article explains how to implement data creation on an OData Endpoint.

Understanding OData conventions are important to building an OData client and testing an OData Endpoint. Of all the OData conventions the most important convention a WCF Data Services developer must understand are the OData URI conventions. This article explains how OData URI conventions map to code living inside of WCF Data Services.

Learn how WCF RIA Services can be used in conjunction with Silverlight to access server objects easily using reflection.

OData's simplicity and common underlying Web standards have made it a popular Data protocol in the Microsoft stack. WCF Data Services includes several Providers that surface OData from .NET classes.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Data Services allow you to create and consume services using Open Data Protocol (OData). In the process WCF Data Services allow you to access your data using REpresentational State Transfer (REST). This article gives you a jump start in creating and consuming WCF data services and shows how queries can be executed in asynchronous manner.

Take advantage of Streaming and TCP for transferring large amounts of data to and from using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Companies have made huge investments in COM based applications in the past. It is not always economically feasible or technically possible to rewrite these applications in a managed programming language. Yet, it is sometimes required to integrate these applications with modern n-tier applications build using WCF. Using the WCF service moniker this integration is easily possible.

Learn about Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) RIA Services and get to know how the RIA service concept is achieved using the .NET framework 4.0 Domain Service.

This ASP.NET tutorial looks at using jQuery Templates and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to create an Ajax-enabled user interface for an existing ASP.NET Web Forms application.

Learn how communication between JQuery and WCF works and why this combo is so special, as we create a sample application.

This ASP.NET tutorial shows how to expose server-side data using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Services and how to consume that data from client-side script using the ASP.NET Ajax Library and jQuery.

Read along as we explore the durable services concept in WCF and look at how to implement it by creating an example.
