VS2008 SP1 Beta is quite a package. By default the installation downloads the packages as needed and when needed. Now that is just fine if you only need to install a single machine. But when you need to install multiple, possibly virtual, machines like I have to it just wastes a lot of bandwidth and...

When I tried I received the following very helpful System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException with Message="The remote server returned an unexpected response: (407) Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied....
I recently received a copy of Pro WCF: Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation so I could review it. So did I like the book? Not really The problem with the book is that it wants to cover far too much and diverse material. Now covering a lot of material in a book isn't a bad thing per se but in this...
Visual Studio visualizers are pretty cool and can help you quite a bit when debugging but you need to develop them and that just ads to the workload. So how about having someone else do it? Well Microsoft added a few visualizers to VS2008 and VS2008 but they are pretty much limited to text, html and...
I read this useful article @ InfoQ ( http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/03/wcf-metro-interop ). Its really interesting to see how top distributed computing technologies at Sun (Metro) and Microsoft (WCF) are interoperable. On the very basic level all the web services are supposed to be interoperable on WS...

Getting started is easy because a new Sequential Workflow Service Library, found under WCF instead of Workflow in VS2008, uses nice defaults for everything...
In a previous blog post I showed how to use the ReceiveActivity with long running workflow and how to extract the workflow instanceId from the context using the IContextManager. I also showed how to rebuild this context at a later date when you use a new proxy object to call the same workflow instance...
In my last post I showed how to self host the workflow runtime and still be able to use a Windows Communication Foundation and ReceiveActivity. Hosting the workflow runtime in a WorkflowServiceHost is nice but in all likelihood you will also need to configure the workflow runtime itself and add some...
One of the new, and pretty cool, Windows Workflow Foundation features is the ReceiveActivity that unleashes the power of Windows Communication Foundation to Windows Workflow Foundation. Getting started with a ReceiveActivity is quite simple as long as you start with a sequential Workflow Service Library...
I guess MIX-08 was a pretty cool event Unfortunately all I can do was guess because I wasn't there . So I guess I missed a lot of good sessions, right? Well wrong actually because the team that run MIX have already put the sessions up on the web! So go to http://sessions.visitmix.com/Default.htm...
