I just wrapped up a week at SD West in Santa Clara where I delivered 2 full day tutorials and 4 sessions. This post will lead you to all the sample code for those sessions, enjoy! Tutorial: .NET Technology Roadmap Tutorial: Building an Enterprise SOA with WCF - Most of the samples for this tutorial come from my book. Download those samples with instructions here: www.thatindigogirl.com. In addition I also demonstrated some newer samples including the following:
Entity Framework, AJAX and REST - A look at Project Astoria Exploring Windows CardSpace Federation with WCF Scalability and Throughput Considerations for WCF

Thanks to all that attended the full-day tutorial at Dev Connections last Monday - Improve Your SOA: Designing a Secure, Reliable and Scalable System. It was certainly an avalanche of rich topics related to SOA and WCF. At last I have compiled the long list of resources from the day, including references to some getting started resources for those new to WCF. Getting Started Demos Code from the book is organized by subject matter. I specifically illustrates samples from these subdirectories: \Exceptions, \Security, \Security\ClaimsBased, \Instancing, \Concurrency, \Bindings, \QueuedMessages, \Transactions, \ReliableSessions. If there are other resources you are looking for specifically, please drop me an email and I'll add to this post. Thanks! Technorati Tags: Dev Connections, WCF, SOA |

I just returned from another fantastic Dev Connections conference in Las Vegas. For the four sessions I delivered, this post lists the code samples and resources I referenced. If you are looking for something specific and can't find it here, shoot me an email. Tutorial resources will be posted separately. Enjoy! Introduction to C# 3.0 Exploring Windows CardSpace ASP.NET and WCF: Meet Your New Web Service Architectural Considerations for ASP.NET Applications - GalleryDemo20 - This sample illustrates different globalization techniques including the use of generated resources for page content, the use of resources to select localized images and dynamically loaded user controls, the use of localized database tables, and caching based on theme, culture and query string params
- CustomResourceProviders - This sample illustrates the use of custom localization expressions and custom resource providers. The code is based on this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905797.aspx and updated for VS 2008.
- Extending the Visual Studio IDE for localization - I wrote a follow on article on this for MSDN, it has not yet been published, hopefully soon (backlog) but I will post the code here in an update to this post, after a quick review later this week.
- Distributed Boundaries - This sample was based on the ConnectionOrientedBindings lab from Chapter 3 of my book Learning WCF. All the code for my book is here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com/LearningWCFCode.aspx. This particular sample shows how to use a WCF service behind your ASP.NET applications to introduce a security boundary between NETWORK SERVICE and access to data and other resources. I talked about this in two articles for the server side, long ago:
- TransactionsOverHttp - This shows how to flow transactions over WCF web services, but I have many more examples of WCF transactions here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com/LearningWCFCode.aspx
- MessagingIntermediaryVia - Illustrates a pass-through router over HTTP where even reliable messaging headers can pass through both directions.
- MessagingIntermediaryDuplex - Illustrates a duplex router that supports reliable messaging headers two-way out of band over named pipes.

Once again a fantastic conference in Orlando. Dev Connections just keeps getting better and I always enjoy being part of it. Not to mention the weather in Orlando isn't bad! Here are links to my code samples for each talk I delivered. Enjoy! .NET Technology Roadmap Tutorial ASP.NET and WCF ASP.NET and CardSpace - Demonstrations in this talk can be found here:
WCF Federated Security - My claims-based samples can be found here:
- And, my STS sample here (NOTE: this sample will be updated shortly with an upcoming article, stay tuned!):
WCF Contracts and Versioning ASP.NET Performance (Updated 06/07/2007) Ok people, I had this in my Windows Live Writer to send a long time ago, and somehow it did not post...but since I haven't posted in a while I didn't notice. Many apologies for the delay. Does the "better late than never" statement apply here? I hope so... - In this talk I covered a lot of ground, and theory around performance including simpler performance tips, the progression of asynchronous handlers to component distribution, and the importance of performance counters for your SLAs.
- You can look at my ASP.NET Sandboxing articles and samples for more resources on component distribution.
- See also the following data demos for examples of data caching
- My LocalizedGallery globalization example (posted here) illustrates the use of complex output caching based on custom caching by browser, culture and profile
- Asynchronous HTTP handlers:
- Here is an example showing how to create custom performance counters:
- Here is an example illustrating some of the health monitoring configuration features of ASP.NET 2.0:

I just spent the last week at SD West in San Jose...this year the conference was bigger than ever before! Thanks to everone that attended my tutorials and sessions, I really enjoyed the questions and discussions...as I hope you did. As promised, here is a list of all my resources from the conference talks. Enjoy! Intro to Web Services (Tutorial) - Christian Gross and myself presented this one, discussing everything from POX, REST, RSS, SOAP/WSDL, WS* and SOA.
- Code I demonstrated in this tutorial is from the .NET Web Services tutorial next.
.NET Web Services TODAY (Tutorial) Microsoft Technology Avalanche (Tutorial) Top 10 Web Service Standards You Need To Know WCF Contracts and Versioning - Demonstrations in both of these talks are based on WCF code from my book here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com/LearningWCFCode.aspx
- See \Security, \ReliableSessions, \Transactions in particular for the WS* discussion
- See \DataContracts, \AdvancedSerialization, and \ServiceContracts for the contracts discussion
CardSpace - Demonstrations in this talk can be found here:
The Amazing World of Federated Security - This talk was mostly discussion of standards and architectures however the demonstrations I used to illustrate a few points are based on my claims-based samples here:
- And, my STS sample here (NOTE: this sample will be updated shortly with an upcoming article, stay tuned!):

I created a presentation in November of last year with the goal of helping folks make sense of the vast number of Microsoft technologies from development tools, language, data, windows, web and SOA development. This blog post holds the latest links to resources and code for each section. System Requirements The links below use the following technology platforms: - Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0
- .NET 3.0
- NET 3.0 Runtime (installed with Vista)
- Windows SDK for .NET 3.0
- Visual Studio 2005 Orcas Extensions for .NET 3.0:
- WCF&WPF (Nov 2006)
- WF (Nov 2006)
- ADO.NET and LINQ CTP for VS 2005 (May 2006)
- LINQ CTP
- ADO.NET vNext CTP
- ADO.NET vNext Entity Data Model Designer Prototype, CTP
- Visual Studio Orcas CTP (March 2007)
Development Tools In this section I reviewed the stack of development tools and explained how to choose between them. Language Enhancements In this section I talked about moving from .NET 1.1 to 2.0, and discussed the key features of 2.0 that folks should be leveraging. Then, I focused on the language enhancements forthcoming with C# 3.0 and VB 9.0. Demos: Data Access In this section I focused on data access technologies, designing the data access tier, and key features of ADO.NET 2.0, vNext and LINQ to give you some idea how to prepare for the next set of innovations. Demos: - When you install ADO.NET vNext and LINQ there are literally 100s of samples that will really help you get up to speed here. I show a selection of these in this presentation.
Windows Development
In this section I review Windows Forms 2.0 innovations, primarily ClickOnce, and then talk about how to prepare for WPF, explaining the various deployment models. I also talk about practical approaches to choosing the right platform for your development efforts. Demos:
Web Development
In this section I showed an ASP.NET sample application that illustrates key features of ASP.NET 2.0 and practical application of those features. Then we looked at AJAX and discussed trends on the Web compared to Windows development. Popular AJAX Frameworks: Demos: Distributed System Programming In this section I reviewed the typical use for earlier distributed computing technologies like remoting, enterprise services and ASMX web services with WSE, and compared them with WCF. BPM and Workflow In this section I discussed BPM, BizTalk and workflow and trends for BizTalk vNext. DinnerNow To pull it all together, there is a sample you can download here: www.dinnernow.com that illustrates all of the technologies in a practical example. It includes WCF, WF, WPF, AJAX, Vista gadgets and mobile apps.

A big thanks to all the participated in this monstrous tutorial at Dev Connections. Whew, I can fully admit it was a lot of work to put all the information together in one place, but I hope that you got a lot out of it. For those that didn't attend, the goal of the tutorial was to provide an overview of the current state of the various technologies and tools for Microsoft developers, with an emphasis on the reasons for moving forward with each technology stack, and hopefully some enlightenment on when you might choose each technology. I'll be keeping this one day session current for future conferences, and for on-site sessions with clients. If you are interested in such a thing, contact me at IDesign: www.idesign.net.
Here are the resources I promised from the tutorial.

For my web cast today I discussed...well...contracts! In the process I had the opportunity to update my contract chapter samples for my WCF book (the chapters are currently posted to www.thatindigogirl.com for your review, and I'll be updating the posted chapter content for Beta 2 in the next weeks).
The samples are:
