WCF 4 Recipes provides a problem-solution approach to an extensive array of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) scenarios. Using vivid code examples and illustrations, you"ll learn to implement everything from data transport, bindings, transactions, creation and consumption of services, and concurrency patterns, to insight into automated testing and development of interceptors. Because WCF consists of a vast set of tools and capabilities, it is essential to have a reference that covers everything in one place. You"ll find this book to be that reference, and it will serve as an invaluable resource for beginners and experts alike. What you’ll learn All of the new features and functionality in WCF 4 To implement various data transport protocols, including WS-1, WSE, NetMSMQ, and NetTCP To build secure solutions using WS-Security, WS-Federation, and WS-Trust About different client scenarios, including thick, thin, service, and RESTful To create and deploy workflow services, and integrate with Azure AppFabric To control dependencies in services and clients, and strategies to translate at endpoints How to work with WCF Interceptors Who this book is for This book is geared toward the .NET developer or architect tasked with creating or consuming WCF services and service-oriented solutions for any enterprise. The technical or development manager tasked with service-oriented architecture implementation on the Microsoft solution stack will also find value in the content, and will be better suited to make decisions around proper WCF patterns and practices.
