如何在WCF中使用消息契约编写程序？

Question

I am very very new to WCF and I have been asked to write a WCF service that will use Message Contract to generate an xml file as well as to read the xml file via the cilent proxy?

I am unable to click thru though searched in net.

If anyone can tell me the concept as well as a simple program of wCF(specific to Message contract) will be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There's the MSDN WCF Developer Center which has everything from beginner's tutorials to articles and sample code.

Also, I would recommend you have a look at the Pluralsight screen casts on WCF - it's an excellent series going from " Creating your first WCF service " and " Creating your first WCF client " all the way to rather advanced topics. Aaron Skonnard very nicely explains everything in 10-15 minutes screencasts - highly recommended!

For Message contracts specifically, check out:

• Using Message Contracts
• WCF Services - Messages Contracts

The question is: do you really need message contracts?? Most of the time (> 90%), you don't - why do you want to use message contracts specifically?? I would try to learn WCF without focussing too much on the message contracts, unless you have a very specific need for them.

Actually I did my first experiment on Message Contract from this site Difference between Data Contract and Message Contract in WCF . They have given a program in the down and with a bit of my wit (joking) I was able to get thru.

But many thanks to all of you who has helped me.
