Yes, I know, Mark Fusell has already demonstrated the interoperability between WSE and WCF many times. This is another example that shows a WSE client consuming a WCF service. The client and the service, both use a AnonymousForCertificate turn-key assertion.

Are you wondering yourself how to build service oriented applications using the best practices in the market ?. In that case, you should definitively take a look to this new project Web Service Software Factory  from the Microsoft P&P team. It was announced last week by Don Smith and Jason Hogg in the Microsoft Canadian Architecture Forum.

I just received the confirmation email from the MVP Lead Ben Miller. Thank you Microsoft :-).
I also would like to give special thanks to Julie Lerman and Jason Hogg, who have helped me a lot to obtain this award.

Last week I received some feedback from the web services guru Christian Weyer (By the way, a cool guy too) about my post "Proxy Factory", so I decided to develop a complete and usable sample to show that concept.

I have developed a new WS-Compression implementation for WCF.  This code is based on the WSE 3.0 implementation  made by my partner Rodolfo Finochieti.

WCF by default maintains a cache for security tokens per channel instance (A channel is related to a contract). Therefore, it is not possible to reuse the same token for different channel instances.

As most of you know, Pair programming is one of practices included in Extreme Programming. It is a programming technique that provides line-of-sight-and-hearing learning.

I decided to write this post in order to show some necessary steps to build a Secure Token Service (STS) with the latest WCF CTP.
