WCF / ASMX :: Good Ways To Troubleshoot Issues In Own Web Services?
Aug 21, 2010
I have been working on web services for quite sometime.Have been creating and consuming simple to intermediate levels of web services.But now i want to start using some third party web services.I have got to know that there are good ways to troubleshoot issues in our own web services or any third party web services. For example, if a particular web method was working since 3 months and all of a sudden, it stopped working as expected or its not giving the results now. In these kind of situations, what are the best approaches to troubleshoot the issue.Can someone please share some points on this? May be some right articles having some examples will give me the clear picture.
i have some text boxs in a page and in the same page there will be a table 'grid' like for holding the search result.When the user start editing and of the textbox above, the search must start by sending all textboxs values to the server 'ajax', and get back with the results to fill the below grid.
Notes:This grid should support paging, sorting by clicking on headers and it will contains some controls beside the results such as checkboxs for boolean values and links for opening details in another page.
I know many ways to do this some of them are:1- updatepanel around all of these controls and thats it "fast dirty solution"
2- send the search criteria using ajax request using JQuery post function for example and get back the JSON result, and using a template will draw the grid "clean but will take time to finish and will be harder to edit later".
3- ....My question is:What do you think will be the best choice to implement this scenario? because i face this scenario too much, and want to know which implementation will be better regarding performance, optimization, and time to finish.
I want to know what are various ways to consume a WCF service keeping in mind the value for InstanceContextMode? If I create a proxy object and consume it within using block, I am explicitly forcing system to create a new object each time. What are other approaches? Which one is the best approach? I have heard using block is not a great option.
I'm trying to create a data access later using System.DirectoryServices. I'd like to use the MVC 2 framework and have all my views be mostly strongly-typed. Does anyone know any good way to this?
For example I started creating a Group Entity:
public class Group { public string DistinguishedName { get; set; } public string GroupName { get; set; } }
And an abstract interface:
public interface IGroupRepository { List<Group> Groups { get; } }
I am confused about developing the GroupRepository using the system.directory services. Connecting to a SQL database is easy there are examples everywhere but I have no been able to find any using the System.directory sevices in conjunction with a class using MVC. Has anyone tried to do something like this?
I am having a lot of trouble with WCF web service over SSL / HTTPS, so I was wondering if (as a quick fix) I could serialize the object, convert that to a byte array, encrypt the array, pass the encrypted array.
On the other side receive the encrypted array, decrypt the array, convert from the array and then deserialize the object.
Please suggest me some good reference for learning RDLC reports. Does it provides all the features as provided by BOE3.1(Business Objects Enterprise 3.1).
I need a book or two to get a good understanding of web services, starting from very basics, and going upto WCF. I've been using c# for 2 years and have intermediate level of experience with the language.
I have written some web services that I want to make available to others by subscription. The subscribers need to use the service from a specific domain / IP address and also authenticate with a user Id and password.
What exactly should I distribute to the subscriber so they can use the services, while exposing the least about my code?How can authenticate a consumer of services without always passing an Id / password for each service?
I learned from internet that webservices can be invoked only by HTTP whereas WCF can be invoked by HTTP,TCP,et., can i know the difference between them
I've created Web Services in .Net 3.5 & Consumed those Web Services in a Client Web Application. Now i want to Host the WebService in IIS 5.1. I'm very new to .net, I'm using VS 2010, Wndows XP Service Pack 3, IIS 5.1;
I have a wcf dataservice that talks to a silverlight client and a wcf service library that talks to a chat client.How can i get the two services to talk to each other?
ExchangeServiceBinding binding = new ExchangeServiceBinding(); binding.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password); binding.Url = "http://servername/ews/exchange.asmx";
The above web services throws Unauthorized Access Error (Error : 401) for newly created users.I would like to know how to impersonate this user for accessing this exchange web services.
I'm having my first experience with Web Services with .Net. I received from a client an integration manual to consume a web service they have.
In this manual I have the following information:
Request Interface: [URL]
Using SOAP request would return a XML Document with the response.
WSDL: [URL]
Request XML:
[Code]....
There's also XSD for the response XML.
Well, I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out how to consume this web service.
I found a topic here pointing to a MSDN article. There it says that I would have to add a Web Reference for this web service, but in my case this web service is external. Do I really have to add this reference to consume the web service? If yes how do I do that?
Next I have to create the XML Document that will be sent with the SOAP request. But here's a question. Searching on the internet I found mainly two types of request XML. I don't know wich one I should use.
The first one would be:
[Code]....
The second one is a XML file with soap:Body, soap:Header, soap:Envelope, etc.
Wich one should I create with my application in order to consume the web service? If it's the second one, how would look the XML for the data of the first XML?
And finally, how do I send the Soap request? As I said above, I found a MSDN article but it assumes I'm adding a web reference to the web service on my project and I belive that in my case I won't add this reference. So, how do I consume this web service?
I'm kind of lost here and really really soon I will have to estimate how long will take to develop the web service consume code.
I have a simeple web service set up to call from JAVASCRIPT. That works. Can someone tell me how to access profiles from a web seervice. I get arofileCommon could nt be found......I have included the following in the service but it doesn't seem to solve the problem:
How to make web services secure in asp.net both the asmx and on WCF. Currently we have web services and now are in process of converting them to WCF in some modules in our application. Now as upgradation is in process we like to incorporate security on the web services as we intend to open some of them to all our clients via web (they contain both asmx and WCF as well).
I have a webservice, that when called, calls many other web services based on the information that was sent. I have always left the timeout as the default, or a better way to describe it, I have never changed anything. How (and where) do I change the timeouts for each service individually. Since I have quite a few now, I want the original transaction to never take more than 30 seconds. That said. I want to go in and change the timeouts for the services I have to ping in that 30 seconds to be 5 to 10 seconds based on which one.
I am a .NET programmer trying to catch up on Java web services for an upcoming project in office. Can someone describe briefly what are the differences between .NET web services and Java web services?
