A little background because I feel I have an out of the ordinary architecture in place and don't know if this is contributing to the problem.

We have an existing ASP.net application that is undergoing expansion. The new functionality is all written in Silverlight 4. As part of that expansion I gutted all the old Linq to SQL and put Entity Framework 4 into place. To do this I created a standard .net Class Library and added my edmx files there. Naturally, the business entities created by this cannot be used in Silverlight. So I created a Silverlight Class Library and added all the business entities to that Silverlight Class Library as linked files. I changed the name space to be the same.

So I have the following assembly / namespaces

Company.Project.Dal.csproj / Company.Project.Entities (.net 4 class library)

Company.Project.Entities.csproj / Company.Project.Entities (SL4 class library)

With this architecture I was able to share my business entities with my SL enabled web services, my asp.net projects, my silverlight projects. Really it's a beautiful thing.

Once this was done I added "message" classes to Company.Project.Dal and again shared them with the other entites using linked files. These messages are things like MyObjectRequest; they are class

How do I generate service reference activities in my rehosted designer

My desginer is used to create lots of xamlx workflows. These are hosted in app fabric. From Visual Studio I can add a service reference that points to my workflows, and it generates activities in my toolbar that I can use to call my service from another workflow. I'd like to do the same thing from my rehosted designer. I figured it would be something like calling svcutil.exe, but couldn't find any information on this. Does anybody know how to create xaml activities by pointing at a service for a workflow designer rehost? CheersJason Bolstad

Cannot get service reference for Net.tcp service hosted in IIS7

HiI've got a service that I want to host in IIS7. The service runs over net.tcp (currently without security), but I am unable to create a service reference to it, or call it, using the net.tcp protocol. My event log is populated with lots of errors related to ASP.NET and System.ServiceModel, 3.0.0.0The relevant services are installed and running (net.tcp port sharing service and net.tcp listener adapter).O/S : Window7 RTMDevStudio: 2008I publish the webservice to IIS7 and I get a valid page when navigating to the published .svc file (which tells me to use svtutil.exe and point it at the net.tcp endpoint).For that, I get this error : The message could not be dispatched because the service at the endpoint address 'net.tcp://gedm-desktop.profiledc01.appdevelop.local/ManageAVMEP/ManageAVMAgent.svc/mex' is unavailable for the protocol of the address.Googling the problem leads me down several blind alleys :(I cannot determine what is causing the net.tcp listener to keep stopping? Everything is fine if I use the wsHttpBinding.Any tips or pointers to a course of action would be appreciated.ThanksGed My event log is full of errors (here is a sample) :-------An error occurred while trying to listen for the URL '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/ManageAVMEP'.

WCF Workflow Service Application - Required Extensions

Hello, I built a WCF Workflow Service App and I built a custom activity that requires an extension in the workflow. In a web app, I'm trying to create a service reference to the WCF workflow service but it says that an extension that is required has not been provided; so how do I consume a service with a required extension? At what point do I supply that extension in an ASP.NET scenario? Thanks. http://linkedin.com/in/brianmains

Workflow Service failing on high load

Hi, I am load testing my workflow service to ensure that it can sustain high loads for a high volume transaction application.

Unable to call an asmx web service using windows authentication from a Service workflow

Hello, I need to use an existing asmx service from inside my service workflow and I am unable to call it. This asmx service is hosted in a web application with iis set to windows authentication, anonymous is not allowed. I need to send the authentication, only way seems too be using transport for basicHttpBindings.

WCF Workflow Service Hosting

Is there any way I can host a WCF Workflow Service Application in a Windows service instead of IIS?

Workflow Service not calling workflow in another project

I have a windows workflow service 4.0 that calls a workflow located in another project (i.e. another assembly). I have created a project reference in my workflow service project to the workflow in the other assembly. I have set a breakpoint in the workflow service receive activity and this breakpoint is hit. Next I step into the next activity which is an activity located in another project and the debugger does not work. Also the other workflow is sending an email. It appears that the other workflow is not being called because I never receive an email from the workflow in the other project. Any help is greatly appreciated.

RESTful WCF Workflow Service

Folks, I'm in the middle of building a service (.xamlx) that is basically going to support a document submission workflow. Via the web service, I want clients to be able to POST a big ol' XML file into my system. This is going to kick off a big, long-running, persistable, AppFabric-managed workflow. Clients will be able to poll this (or another) service to get the status of the document processing. My issue right now is that it appears as though, out of the box, what I get is straight-up WSDL-style services that use standard web service tactics. I was wondering if there was something I could do, either via web.config or via the workflow designer, that would allow me to have my WCF-hosted workflow AND have the endpoint be a RESTful (or even REST-ish... i'm not picky) one. In other words, I want to be able to POST an arbitrary blob of XML to my workflow service (complete with authentication tokens in custom HTTP headers). Is this possible? If so, how?The .NET Addict - http://dotnetaddict.dotnetdevelopersjournal.com

Validate available operations on workflow service

I'd like to check if i can invoke an operation on workflow service so i could disable action buttons on my UI. Is it possible? If I invoke operation which isn't right at that moment I get exception: "Operation cannot be performed at this time. Please ensure that the operations are performed in the correct order and that the binding in use provides ordered delivery guarantees." And i would like to avoid theses kind of messages by validating before invoking. udione

Suspend / Resume Instances within Workflow Service Host (in Windows Service)

We are hosting WF 4 worklfow instances within a Windows Service that uses the Workflow Service host container. On the Windows Service OnStart we start the workflow service host (w/ multiple WCF endpoints such as start workflow instance, cancel workflow instance, poll workflow instance status, etc.) and these endpoints create or work on one or more long running workflow instances. My question is, if a user attempts to stop the Windows Service while workflow instance(s) are running, what is the best way to manage this scenario. Our inclination is to persist these workflows (using sql persistence) and then on the next start of the Windows Service, resume these workflow instances and allow them to continue to completion. In OnStart, we have a handle to the Workflow Service host. How can we iterate through all the active workflow instances in OnStop and then in OnStart, resume these after the workflow service host is opened and running? Are there are any methods of managing this scenario? Thanks

Workflow Service 4.0 with One Way Receive activity will not get fired when called by a console based

Workflow Service 4.0 with One Way Receive activity will not get fired when called by a console based client application. This service does get called when there's the default ReceiveRequest coupled with a SendReply activity in the service. However deleting the ReceiveRequest and SendReply Activities and replacing it with a one way Receive Activity causes the Workflow 4.0 Service to not get called.

Can't Add Service Reference in VS 2010 to a net.tcp endpoint

I've got a service running (well, it doesn't crash), but when I try to add a Service Reference to it, I keep getting Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:55555/mex'. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:55555/mex'. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

Deploy XBAP application with WCF Service Reference into multiple environments

Hi, we have a multiple environment setup (local, Development servers, QA servers, prod servers, etc.) and we are building an XBAP application that uses WCF Services to connect to databases.ÃÂ We code and unit test everything locally and then deploy to our Development servers for more thorough unit testing.ÃÂ The issue that we are having is that we don't see how to update the deployed XBAP application to use the Development server deployed WCF Service.ÃÂ The only way we've been able to do this is by having to change the reference on my local machine, complie, and redeploy the XBAP.Question:ÃÂ How do we configure a deployed XBAP's Service Reference to point to the same service on a different server than what it was originally compiled/deployed with?ÃÂ (Like in some configuration file...NOTE: but we also don't see a config file after deploying the XBAP.)ÃÂ We don't want to have to update the Service Reference for QA, Prod, Training, Stage, etc. on our local machines, compile and redeploy every time we need to migrate the application to a new environment.Thanks!

Workflow - Same Contract used in two service - Conversion problem

Hello, I'm trying at the moment to use WF to create a basic Workflow, and face a conversion problem. Here's the setup : Service 1 : Create objects based on a defined Data Contract Service 2 : Apply an operation on objects of type defined in service 1. Service 1 is imported as Service reference. I created a simple Workflow which imports both services. It first call Service one to get an object, and then send it to Service 2 to apply the operation. But when I try to do this I receive an error of type : 'WF.Service1.Entity' cannot be converted to 'WF.Service2.Entity'. The Contract used is only defined in the Service 1 and reused in Service 2, so it's the same object. The only difference is in the proxy client generated which creates both definitions, each one in it's specific namespace (Service1 and Service2). Do you see any solution to this situation ? Except creating an activity that copy every property from one object to another :-) P.S. : I uploaded the basic setup here : http://www.mediafire.com/?e6j9c2dv4rvcdoh
