  • Change the Order of Data Members in Data Contracts in WCF

    Programming with Windows Communication Foundation requires you to have some specific knowledge for this technology (as any other technology). One of the several things that I believed about WCF in the past three years of working with this technology is the fact that there is always a point that you don't know about it. In the current post I'm going to talk about one of these simple and maybe obvious points that I didn't know and just found it recently. Usually we work with an upper level...

  • An Introduction to Telligent Dynamic Configuration

    Those who use Telligent products like Community Server or Graffiti CMS, would been able to notice a change in the way that Telligent has improved usability of its products and has made the configuration easier via user interface rather than XML configuration files. Prior to Community Server 2008, you had to use XML manipulation operations in order to fetch data and work with them in API. With the birth of Graffiti CMS, you can see that everything is configurable via the user interface and a developer...

  • Is There Anything Sweeter Than Blogging?

    The answer is obvious: yes, there are many things! My regular visitors may have noticed a change in my blogging recently. During the past three years of blogging I always had an active blog and it never happened to have 4 posts in 10 days when I'm not away. I had a more active blog even when I was completely away to military training last year! One of the side-effects of doing a regular work for a long time is when you change your manner, you feel bad for a while and now I have that feeling!...

  • Use Fiddler to Test RESTful WCF Services

    Fiddler is one of the common tools for .NET developers especially for ASP.NET developers who try to debug their HTTP requests and responses. But Fiddler is a more general product for debugging any HTTP request and response. So this great tool can be used for testing any hosted site or service. Here I want to show you how you can use Fiddler to test RESTful Windows Communication Foundation services in .NET 3.5 (or 3.0). I don't want to step in details of creating a RESTful WCF service. .NET 3...

  • My Military Service After Fourteen Months

    Yes, believe it or not, but now I'm going to start the last six months of my mandatory military service. You know that I give a short status of my service on a regular basis and now I've passed the 14th month to talk about it! Today I also finished a year in the organization. Last year this time, I finished my military training to join the organization and now I'm an old guy at the service office! I never could imagine that I can get to this point and at first glance it seemed too hard...

  • File Lock Issue in Visual Studio When Building a Project

    One of the common issues for Visual Studio users is a file lock error when trying to build projects. This is a generic error for all developers but is more common among Visual Studio Extensibility developers who try to build add-ins and debug them. I see that a newbie has to wrestle with this issue when developing an add-in. Here I just want to show one of the several ways to work around this issue and of course, want to talk about a simple and easy to use solution. This has been a question for a...
