WSCF/WCF
Blogged date : 2007 Oct 20
We are one of the companies early testing the RC of Visual Studio 2008. I have installed the full Team Suite and I am quite happy. I had a weird bug with Beta 2 in regards to metadata in WCF projects. The metadata and specifically the WSDL created seemed incorrect in an WCF Service, and was thus unable to be read by the WCF Test Client which would not come up. I didn't vote high for the WCF Test Client during the Orcas SDR but I am sure finding it handy now. I create a lot of prototype WCF Service Assemly projects (DLL Library) and its a pain to create the proxy and then the WCF client by hand. In Orcas, you can hit F5 on a a WCF Service DLL project and up pops a WCF Test Client application that has parsed the metadata, and created a simpple Windows UI client to call the methods. Super and it works now!
