I’m enthusiastic about freetext search and especially Lucene. Feel free to write to me if you want to know more…

Unfortunately I was misinformed about the session length – I had more content that showed some of the neat features.

I’m not going (sadly enough). But you can by me a beer anyways…

Red Gate SQL Compare generally produces better scripts, though I’ve not yet compared against a blank database to create a complete database script!

This one kept restarting multiple times during the flight at random seats!

I can’t think of a good way of implementing an asynchronous handcrafted client proxy.

Add Service Reference and the SvcUtil creates a modified service contract with BeginXXX and EndXXX methods. For the developer this is nice, as the asynchronous method invocation functionality is explicated state and follows the Asynchronous Design Pattern.

I would just use delegates with the handcraftet WCF client, like so:

var proxy = new HelloWorldClient();

Func<string> del = proxy.HelloWorld;

del.BeginInvoke(callback =>
Console.WriteLine(del.EndInvoke(callback)), null);

Can you thing of a better option that explicit states the possibility of the asynchronous method invocation?

Read my blog post “Handcrafting the WCF client” which discuss the different possibilities for WCF-based service clients.

“Handcrafting the WCF client” – http://www.lybecker.com/blog/2009/03/05/handcrafting-the-wcf-client/

What is the similar step for consuming this WCF Webservice ? Please help. Thank you very much in advance.

You must use the standard way of defining generic types in configuration file if you want to use a service contract like IBasicContract

It is written in the configuration file like this: IBasicContract`2[TRequest,TResponse]

I also posted this reply on stackoverflow in case you do not see this.

Anyway, the way I think of read committed snapshot is that writers don’t block readers, but writers still block writers. You’re saying one of the writers will throw an error. I just tried this scenario on a DB where I have is_read_committed_snapshot_on set to on, and the second update blocked until I committed, as I expected.

I think you’re thinking of the conflict detection bit in snapshot isolation level. The article you reference says this: “Unlike Snapshot, it always returns latest consistence version and no conflict detection.”

In my scenario I can use streamed transfer mode as I’m already using netTcpBinding.

I your case you still consume lots of memory, as the messages as the client waits for all the messages to be received before it starts processing. You can improve your memory consumption (and properly execution speed) by processing the messages as they arrive – by changing your implementation to working on a stream (just like a regular stream from the System.IO namespace). I haven’t quite figured it out how to do this on a binary encoded stream, but I have a working example with text encoding. I will post here on my blog as soon as I get time to try it out.

Frodoqui: Thanks for enlightening me about the StreamedResponse transfer mode – this will help me reduce memory consumption until I get the time to change the implementation.

My complaints about your presentations is due to most of it was about database state management – How to restore state after a database test. The possibilities you presented was manual rollback, Enterprise Services and TransactionScope. You did not address how to create database tests simple and efficiently.

I would have liked if you dug deeper into how to write the database unit/integration tests. Not only how to restore the state after a test.
At the end of the session you sang a song. I thing your song was funny, but you rushed through the end of the presentation just to be able to sing your song. You should have prioritized your presentation over you song.
