As usual, Roman Kiss continues doing great stuffs for WCF. He has recently published a new NullTransport for WCF in CodeProject.

WCF mainly supports two modes to send attachments in a efficient way, an streamed mode and a buffered/chunked mode.

Nice Idea!!!, how to remove the svc extension for WCF services hosted in IIS. [Via John Flander], http://www.masteringbiztalk.com/blogs/jon/PermaLink,guid,9e0d8d1e-ac7c-49b5-8072-bde42609f5db.aspx

The configSource attribute was firstly introduced in .NET framework 2.0 to support external configuration files.

If you haven't taken a look yet, Microsoft SharedView is a fast and easy way to share documents and screen views with small groups of friends or coworkers; anytime, anywhere, and what is most important, it is completely free. This version is available up to 15 people in different locations.

A nice thing about the management layer in WCF is the WMI support to expose instrumentation at runtime with a well-know interface. That instrumentation includes different service characteristics such as contracts, services, behaviors, listeners or application hosts, which can be accessed by different management tools.

My friend Jesus Rodriguez has published an excellent article about one the cool features that will be part of WCF 3.5 (Orcas timeframe), "Durable Services". If you want to know more about this feature, take a look at his post here. 

As part of the integration between WCF and EntLib 3.0, this last one comes with a nice feature to redirect the WCF trace to the logging application block. This is done by Entlib through a custom trace listener (system.diagnostics) that captures the trace generated by WCF, and then, transfer that trace to any of the EntLib's trace listeners (Logging application block) configured in the application.
