Try adding the timeout values to both the service AND the client: <binding name=”BasicHttpBinding_SomeName” closeTimeout=”00:01:00″ openTimeout=”00:01:00″ receiveTimeout=”00:10:00″ sendTimeout=”00:10:00″ maxBufferPoolSize=”2147483647″ maxBufferSize=”2147483647″ maxReceivedMessageSize=”2147483647″>
In his ‘Programming WCF Services’ book, Juval Lowy explains that WCF does not provide a mechansim for managing service callbacks, and this must be managed by the service and client explicitly. If the service attempts to invoke a callback which has been closed on the client, an ObjectDisposedException will be thrown on the service channel. … Read more
You can specify the serialization order by decorating the elements in your data contract: [DataContract] public class Foo { [DataMember(Order=1)] public int ID { get; set; } [DataMember(Order=2)] public int Bar { get; set; } } So you can make sure the serialization order is the same all the time. But there is no way … Read more
I don’t think you can do that with the WCF Test Client. It’s a fairly limited and simplistic tool – works great in simple scenarios, but stops fairly quickly. If you need more features and abilities, you might want to look at SoapUI which is a SOAP/web services testing tool and works quite well – … Read more

In first request you will query your datasource to get STE and provide data in the page. In the next request (postback) you will want to modify STE with … Read more
Rest is a way of doing communication over the internet. It is a very basic process of picking addresses to serve as method locations and returning HTML standard data (javascript, css, html of course). WCF is a .net library used to have two programs talk to each other using SOAP. Which consists of two very … Read more
You have all the necessary information at hand – the resulting Best Practice to use and properly close/abort all your WCF client proxies would be: YourClientProxy clientProxy = new YourClientProxy(); try { .. use your service clientProxy.Close(); } catch(FaultException) { clientProxy.Abort(); } catch(CommunicationException) { clientProxy.Abort(); } catch (TimeoutException) { clientProxy.Abort(); } Catching the FaultException handles … Read more
I found the answers in What does this WCF error mean: “Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType” help. In my case, I chose unticking the ‘Re-use types’ box and that solved it. Additional Thoughts: SOA, Distributed Objects, & Coupling The ”Service Oriented” Vision implied by a WSDL and the WS-* standards is that the WSDL … Read more
You may have selected Reuse types in specified reference assemblies but not chosen the very important mscorlib library. First click ‘Show All Files’ at the top of your Solution Explorer so you can expand out the service reference. Find the Reference.cs file and open it. Search for ClientBase in the source code to make sure … Read more
