Two weeks ago Mike Schroepfer, a Mozilla developer, announced that they'll launch a version of Firefox that can be run mobile devices. If you own a Windows Mobile device, you're probably craving for a better browsing experience, just like I am...
Update : This post was updated and is much more explaining in this post, WCF Simple Example in Visual Studio 2010 On my WCF Introduction post I received a trackback to an example that should be really simple to start WCF with. I'm not here to judge...
As I've been pretty busy, it's been a while since my last post in the WCF series. But let's have a look at bindings now. A binding will tell a client what's necessary to connect to the service. In other words, how we connect is described by the binding...
We'll return once again to the WCF ABC and in this part we'll examine what we can do with the address of our service. There are many options on how to specify the address of your service, especially when you start combining options. But I'll discuss the...

Finally .NET Framework 3.0 RTM'd , so I don't have to run in my VMWare anymore. A good time to see if everything works and create the host for the service contract we've created last time . We'll do this using a C# console application, as those just rock...
As seen in the previous article, we need an address, binding and contract to complete the WCF ABC. We'll start at the contract. A contract is defined explicitly , via a class. You add a [ServiceContract] attribute to the class. All methods you want to...
