WCF Service Sharing Types
Mar 26, 2012
I am writing a WCF service and code to consume it and I want to share data types between these services. I have a WCF library with the types I want to share defined in it. My WCF service and my WCF client both reference the assembly from the library. Classes look like this:[code]Right now when I do this the compiler gives me an error because it cannot implicitly convert type myclientnamespace.MySCF.Myclass to myclientnamespace.MyClass. I have read the posts here and the article here - which was referenced in another stackoverflow thread. These state that if my client code is referencing the same assembly as my service code and I have that assembly reference in before I create the service reference the client code should not create proxy classes and rather use the classes in the referenced entity assembly. I have tried this and it is not working. I even made sure that the "Reuse types in all referenced assemblies" radio button is checked when I create the service reference.can anyone see what I am doing wrong here? Should creating the service reference after the entities assembly reference was made not result in reusing the types?Is it possible to reuse types in this fashion?

I'm integrating one of our apps with a third-party provider's web service. I've added the service reference, but when I go to dimension a var as one of their types, the types aren't showing up for me in Intellisense. I'm using VB.NET/VS 2008 on Windows 7 and a 2.0 Framework web site running on local IIS. I have imported System.Web and System.Web.Service in my codebehind. I also made sure to check the "Always generate message contracts" checkbox.Types not showing up for service reference

i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.

I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

I have a VB2008 application which can control a windows service i.e. start, stop, pause etc. This runs ok on a Windows XP machine but not on a Win 7 machine (message is - Service error cannot open <service name> service on computer '.') ( if I stop the UAC then it runs ok ). It seems to be a rights issue,

This is a bit of unusual problem that I'm experiencing, but recently one of the users of a production application started reporting errors in the system. These were traced to a 503 Service Unavailable error when making a call to a web service used by the application.
Now here's the odd part, only the one user is affected by this issue. Other users of the application have not reported any errors. When the user logged on to a different machine that worked for another user, they still received the error.

In the past I had the indexing service installed on a Windows Server 2003 and used it to index files for my website. I did this by executing an OleDbCommand with a query and a connection string.How do I accomplish the same thing with the new "Windows Search Service" (Windows Server 2008) by using VB.NET? Does this work the same way so that I only need to change the Provider name which has been "MSIDXS.1" up to now? Case true, what is the new Provider name?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and .NET3.5. I've created a WCF service application. I'm including two DLLs that contain the types I'm returning. The first method I wrote works both in WCF Test Client and also in a console application I created to test. When I move on to the next method that returns a generic list of a type. It works great in WCF Test Client, but when I update the service reference it acts as if the service is unavailable. All my objects say can't find reference, and I can no longer see it in the object browser. It's like it just disappears. I can still see it in the Service Reference folder. If I go back to the WCF app and comment out the contract and implementation of that one method it work again. I created a local class very similar to the class I'm using from the dll, and the it works. Is there something I'm missing here? Can someone point me in the right direction?

When you create a Windows Service, you create a list of the services you want to start. The default is this:
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New Service}
Can you have multiple instances of the same Service class (that bind to different addresses or ports), like this?
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New Service("Option1"), New Service("Option2")}
Or will that cause problems? Should we use two different classes instead?

We are given a task to create a software that can share files between two computers without using lan (internet connection) but the presence of hardware devices can be used like cable, rs232, usb to usb or can be bluetooth to bluetooth file sharing. We searched about file sharing without using lan. The result was "socket programming". Is socket programming is applicable for vb.net? If yes, how is it program?

how to make projects which span multiple files and classes just fine. I've had big multi-file things working.I've been told explicity that my classes have to be private...yet at the same time I'm supposed to have a main method elsewhere and somehow call a menu in my main working file.I can get the program working perfectly when I do it in a logical manner but I just can't figure out how to call a private sub. I keep getting the error reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.I've tried breaking the rules a bit and making one initial sub which is public, shared, etc... but all this does is delays the error until it tries to call its first private sub.

How can I have code-sharing between two projects without making a dll?
The issue is: I have a tool that syncs users & groups from LDAP to a database.
Now the tool is a windows service, but testing it as such is very difficult and time consuming.
Which is why I made a console application where I can test the LDAP syncing, and then just copy the respective sourcecode-files over to the service project.
But... keeping the common files in sync is a bit of a problem. I don't want to make a dll, because this probably creates me a problem with the 3rd project, a windows installer (for the service) where I have to use ExecutingAssembly path...
Is there a way to share the code without making a separate dll? Automagic statical linking, so to say ?

I'm doing my dev work on a Window 7 x64 machine, deploying to a Windows 2008 x32 server. At the moment I'm adding WCF services to some internal apps so that we can build smaller clients using net.tcp bindings that report to the user what the server is doing without running multiple instances of the server. To cut back on how much administration the apps will require, I tried enabling port sharing on my first server app. I'm using the app to self-host the WCF service so they can be easily moved from one server to another if necessary. Here's the code starting the server:
Dim _service_host As ServiceHost
Dim active_server_address As Uri = New UriBuilder("net.tcp", "localhost", CInt(My.Settings.ServerPort)).Uri
[Code].....
I get the following error when I put a breakpoint at the last line: Unable to automatically step into the server. Connecting to the server machine 'nettcpportsharing' failed. The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. The Try...Catch block housing that code says the exception type is AddressAlreadyInUseException...but when I run netstat I don't see anything else listening on that address. There's no occurrence of 'nettcpportsharing' anywhere in my solution. I've checked to make sure that the Net.Tcp Port Sharing service is started.

1. All nodes connected can act both as server and client depending on requirement....
2. They can connect to each other find file who is the owner of file and then ask for file....

I am working with several RFID readers that perform different function in my vb.net program. Currently each reader port number is hard coded into the respective form. For example, reader 3 operates on COM1. However, this will be problematic when installing on different machines.
What I would like to do is have a "configuration" form where the user can select each reader and then select the COM port. Then all other code references these settings. What would be the best approach for this.
The only way I know to do it currently is to place this information in a small database and then have the forms reference that database, but it is a lot to do for such a seemingly trivial task.

I have to implement some way of communication between 2 applications:
Program 1 is receiving data at a relatively high rate (sometimes up to 100k in a second). This application receives the data, does only very few computations and saves the received data to disk for later in-depth-analysis or just recall.
Program 2 shall do some real-time analysis on the same data which may at some point become rather complicated.
It is necessary to split up the 2 tasks into separate programs because the data has to be saved under all circumstances and without losses. Program 2 is still in a development phase, it has to be improved, recompiled, debugged. This shall not disturb the data collection and archiving.
Since application 2 has to go through all the data that program 1 receives it would be slowing down everything very much if the programs had to communicate e.g. via TCP. Therefore I am looking for ways to have some shared memory or whatever else might make it possible for P2 to access the data collected by P1 without too much overhead.

Problem with WCF and Multiple Namespaces.The major difference I am having is that I don't control both ends of the wire.My setup is similar to this:[code]The first thing you do is login via the login service and receive a security ticket. The ticket object is located in the My.Objects namespace. For each subsequent call in My.Service1 and My.Service2 you have to pass in the security ticket to authenticate the call. The issue I am having is that instead of the client (a .net one for now but Java and others in the future) seeing one My.Objects.Ticket the references are resolving as My.LoginService.Ticket, My.Service1.Ticket, and My.Service2.Ticket. When the client tries to pass the object retrieved during login to any other function it is receiving an object mismatch error.How can I make each service resolve objects to the My.Objects namespace?

I am trying to figure out how to seperate my business logic from my forms. This is my first attempt at doing this, but I would like to figure out how to handle events from multiple forms within a class. I have found myself routinely writing the same logic over and over in each form class and its time I figure out how to completly seperate out that logic in winforms so I can reuse the methods across all of my forms.
So basically I have this click event in form1:
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click

When I declare a variable as public, shouldn't it be available in another form? I am trying to write a windows mobile prg with 12 static mileage points, form1 has the 12 buttons for start point, but when I call form2 with the destination points, my start variable value is not carried over. I intend to then assign a mileage based on the two points and write to file on mobile device. We support 12 schools, and I want my employees to track mileage easily.
Public Class main
Public start As String = "start"
Public dest As String = "dest"
Public miles As Decimal = 0

I have a database (.MDB) containing several tables. I also have two comboboxes on a form. I would like to populate the second combobox with a field from one of several tables in the database based on what the user picks in the first combobox.
So... if the user selects Option A in the first combobox, then the second combobox would be populated with contents from a field in table A. If the user picks Option B in the first combobox, then the second combobox is cleared of items from the table A, and repopulated with contents from a field in table B.
I basically created the comboboxes on the form and set the DataSource and Display member of the second combobox through the control's properties. The TableAdapter (is this the corrector terminology) was created automatically by the IDE. I have tried using the code below to switch the tables, but I get an error: "Complex DataBinding accepts as a data source either an IList or an IListSource."
Select Case strTagPrefixTable
Case "BLT"
cboBLTFmt2.DataSource = ECDT_C_V_BOLTSTableAdapter
