2009-05-06 Wednesday - WCF Web Service Development

A few questions came up among some of the SOA team members on a recent client engagement - asking about some of the features in Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). For example:

- how to expose an inherited class object in the resulting WSDL contract?
- how to alter the .NET tool's default behavior of making message contract fields optional or required?
- how to alter the order that fields are presented in the WSDL message contract versus the order they are defined in the class?
- how to include/exclude selected class member variables as fields in the message contract?
- how to define the soap faults in the C# class that can be thrown?

The following links are some of the more interesting resources I came across in my research:
