WCF help

[Fred]

Hello,

I wrote an application with a web server (web service) and a windows
forms client with .NET 2.0
I plan to write a new version using VS 2008.
Can you give me some guide lines according to the following whishes ?
(I read about WCF but I'm not sure I understood every details)

So :
the application must work on internet,
it requires session state,
identity and role management (like ASP.NET membership provider),
asynchronous calls,
streaming would be appreciated (for file transfers or large sets of data
rows),
security or not (on a local network), probably at transport level is the
better choice (?)
possibility to host the server in a windows service to simplify
deployment.

An application like Sql Server Management Studio is a good example of
what I need.

Do you think it is possible with the existing tools ?

Thanks.

You can check my WCF demo here.

(downloadable....a few tsql runs and you're up and running)

I would suggest
channel9
and search for
"Greg Leake"
and/or stocktrader

There are Videos on the channel9 website which really help to understand
what WCF can do.

WCF is an abstract and "higher" method of combining things like
WebServices/MSMQ/.Net Remoting into one.


You can do what you want,...your issue is how much time will it take.

Look for others to input...I'm just giving you a small part of your
request..namely an intro to WCF.

Google search for
Juval WCF Services
for a great book.

and check code samples on
idesign.net
