Getting this set up

I am in the Columbus airport heading to the SharePoint Best Practices Conference in San Diego.  My first encounter this morning was to log onto my laptop and find that my user profile was corrupt.  While not a huge deal, it was rather frustrating.  It took about 1/2 hour but it looks like I have everything back in place.

My plan is to use the blog and document my trip and the conference (my mom would be proud).  Well… the plane is getting ready to board so I will follow up soon.

Notes From WCF Class

WCF is a unified programming model.  More robust and flexible then just web services.  The model makes Metadata available about a a service which can be consumed by VS20008 (or svcutil.exe) to create proxy client objects.

The ABC's of EndPoints:

A - Address
B - Bindings
C - Contracts

MEX - Metadata exchange

Host Environments - creates endpoints and listens for requests - isolate service instances - start up /shut down stuff

Host Options - Self Hosted Application (windows service) / IIS / WAS (Windows Activation Services - requires IIS7)

Logging/Debugging - Service Trace view tool (Windows SDK)

Logging

Service Level - just before WCF processes the message to channel stack (outbound) or just after it receives messages from channel stack (inbound) - [messages in and out]

Transport Level - bottom of channel stack just before message is passed to transport mechanism (outbound) or just after message is retrieved from transport mechanism (inbound) [before/after across the wire]

Tracing

CallBacks -  basically service creates a call back interface and client has to implement that interface

Exceptions = Faults

Default fault gives -> CODE, REASON, DETAIL properties

InstanceContextMode - Per Session (default), Per Call, Single 

MTOM - Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism

SECURITY - Claims (new in WCF) : vouched for by a particular issuer (cert)

ASP.Net 3.5 Class Notes

Web Site - contains multiple assemblies
Web Application - creates .sln file, bin folder with 1 assembly

ASP.Net : Intrinsic Objects - Server, Request, Response, Application, Session, Context, Trace

Page Events: Page_PreInit, Page_Init, Page_PreLoad, Page_Load, Page_unload

New in 3.5:
- AJAX
- ListView Control
- LinqDataSource control

User Control - ascx file - <%@Control - when adding to a page <% Register tagprefix "test" tagname=nametest/>  in page <test:nametest - properties

Custom Controls - no markup inherits System.web.ui.webcontrol - override render

Composite Control - inherits from sytem.web.ui.webcontrol.compositecontrol - override create child controls

put in app_code folder and it will precompile
