Resource Page Description
The Web Service Software Factory (also known as the Service Factory) is an integrated collection of tools, patterns, source code and prescriptive guidance. It is designed to help you quickly and consistently construct WCF and ASMX Web services that adhere to well known architecture and design patterns.

This site hopes to centralize important information of value to the Web Service Software Factory community.

If you are seeking help on Web Service Software Factory topics that are not covered here please visit the official Web Service Software Factory at http://www.Codeplex.com/ServiceFactory. This resource is a "solution" oriented site that will focus on answers to known issues and undocumented features.

Microsoft does not control, review, revise, endorse or distribute the resources on this site. Microsoft is hosting the MSDN Code Gallery site solely as a web storage site as a service to the developer community. For more information, read the Terms Of Use.

What are the differences between CodePlex and Code Gallery? (this site)

Code Gallery is a community-enabled Web site where you can share developer information and resources such as sample applications and code snippets. CodePlex is Microsoft's open source project hosting Web site.

Code Gallery is a pure storage site, with no project management capabilities. If you need to manage a live code project, CodePlex is a better choice.

UPDATED WIKI: Setting up IIS for WCF

BillKrat — Fri, 16 May 2008 18:46:46 GMT

Setup IIS to use your WCF Service

The following is within the context of the BlueYonderAirLines HOL

Click on your WCF Host, e.g., BYA.Mfg.SCM.Svc.WCF | Tests | C:\...\BYA.Mfg.SCM.Svc.WCF.Host\ project
In the property window copy thee Full Path property to the clipboard
Launch the IIS Manager
Right Click on the Default Web Site
Click New Virtual Directory (assuming IIS 6.0 / XP)
Input BlueYonderAirlines for the Alias prompt
Past the clipboard path contents to the Directory prompt - except defaults - except all defaults
Right click on your new virtual directory "BlueYonderAirlines* and select Properties
Click on the Documents Tab and click the Add button
Input the name of your service, e.g., MaterialMgmt.svc
Right click on virtual directory "BlueYonderAirlines" - you should see the web service page

If you deploy your WCF Service and see the following error upon launching it your IIS may not be configured properly:

Ensure .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 are installed
Open the IIS Manager
Right click on Default Web Site and select Properties
Ensure ASP.NET 2.0 is selected on your ASP.NET tab
Click on Home | Configuration button | Click on Add and map svc to aspnet_isapi.dll
Comply with the above steps for any other subwebs (already established) that require WCF support

UPDATED WIKI: Configuration Service 2.0

BillKrat — Thu, 15 May 2008 21:05:06 GMT

The source code and benchmarks are available for developers to download from Microsoft's MSDN site. Configuration Service 2.0 builds on the company's .NET StockTrader, a trading app released last June based on ASP.NET and WCF. The StockTrader 2.0 sample turnkey SOA app, which mimics equity transactions, is similar to its predecessor, though it's based on the .NET 3.5 Framework and implements the new Configuration Service 2.0.

This application is an end-to-end sample application for .NET Enterprise Application Server technologies. It is a service-oriented application based on Windows Communication Foundation (.NET 3.0) and ASP.NET, and illustrates many of the .NET enterprise development technologies for building highly scalable, rich "enterprise-connected" applications. It is designed as a benchmark kit to illustrate alternative technologies within .NET and their relative performance.

.NET StockTrader Sample Application

Looking to broaden the reach of high performance .NET applications across multiple clustered tiers and platforms, as well as promote the use of Windows Communications Foundation (WCF), Microsoft this week will release a sample application, tutorials and benchmarks to help simplify the development and deployment of service-oriented architecture (SOA) composite apps.

The company's Server and Tools business leaders discuss how Microsoft significantly simplifies the effort required to design, build, deploy and manage distributed applications.

Making a new class of model-driven and service-enabled applications mainstream

Microsoft has shown it can take a third-part app built with Java and move it over to .Net without changing any Java code.

Microsoft's new declarative programming language, code-named "D" will fall under Microsoft's Oslo software and services initiative, according to observers.

UPDATED WIKI: How To: Debugging Client and Service

BillKrat — Thu, 15 May 2008 19:35:40 GMT

Debugging Service and Client (within the context of BlueYonderAirLines HOL)

Right click on MaterialMgmt.svc in the TESTS solution folder for project BYA.Mfg.SCM.Svc.WCF.Host and View in Browser (this will start the services)
Make note of the port that your WCF host is running in
Set BYA.Mfg.SCM.Svc.WCF.Client as Startup Project and hit CTRL-F5 (Start without debugging)
Click on Debug

Click on Attach to Process
Select the ASP.NET Development Server - Port <your port number> and click [Attach] button. Note: When I did this step a second Development Server loaded - it was for the ASMX service.

Set break-point in Client (MainForm.cs) ExecuteButton_Click() (see code below)
Set break-point in Service (BYA.Mfg.SCM.Svc.WCF.ServiceImplementation.PartsMgmtService.cs) GetRequirementDemand() method.
Input one in Search field of the running MainForm client - click [Execute] button.

You'll stop in the GetRequirementDemand method of the service - note that you did break in MainForm.cs

Close application and stop debugging
Click F5 (Debug Client application) and attach to the service using steps 4
Now you'll have breakpoints in both Client and Service.
