Re: Wcf Service in a Windows Service - WPF Discussion Boards

I'm going to play more with this, but my initial thought was to try running the Wcf service without any http endpoints or mex addresses ...

I did this and I still get the callback exception. Even though I'm no long registering an http endpoint (listener).

Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick and this is actually referring to my Contract Namespace ???

You really need to see what the inner exception details are. Make sure that all your code is wrapped up in try\catch blocks so you can grab the exception object and drill into it better.

This is the problem, I can only get it to throw one when I run it as a Windows Service ... the code works fine using the VS debug trick you linked too ...

And there isn't anything to attach a debugger too since it faults as soon as its started ...

Your right, this is very tricky ...

Put in your tray\catch, and then in the catch try writing out the exception details to a file or to the debug output stream and then run something like debug-view[^] to watch that stream when you try to start your service.

This allows you to dump out all the details of the exception to read them.

Hi Again Ray,

Thanks for all your help so far ...

I've wrapped various key area things in try/catch and am outputting exception details to the Debugger (DebugView), no exceptions are getting thrown at all. Nothing get logged in the DebugView window.

I just get a 1053 timeout error ... I can't get ...

I have a method that outputs the endpoint addresses of the service ... I have a load of messages in the Application log telling me that the service is listening on the correct (dynamically generated) endpoints ...

Looks like I have a long session of trying to even get an exception before I can make any progress.

Any other tips would be great chap.

Best,

Glad to hear it's working now, even though root cause may be a bit of a mystery.

Don't fro get to close the loop and update the thread with what the problem was so others here can benefit form your frustration Smile | :)

Maybe even a article if the problem was interesting enough Smile | :)

want dynamically change the Items Control(FileUploadControl.xaml) in scrollviewer "silver Light"

27-Mar-09 10:21

Hey Chap,

Indeed, I'm thinking of writing this whole thing up. I've made a prototype self-addressing Wcf Windows Service that can be switched between different protocols. And therein lies the mystery!

Basically I had SessionMode=SessionMode.Required set on the main ServiceContract. Then during testing I forgot to remove the http setting from the protocols setting in the config. So then the service starts up with session mode required and then tries to add a basicHttpBinding to the Endpoint Manager ... bang ...

Basically the interaction of config settings need some more management code, if you specify this you can't do this etc ...

The service is headed for a data processing server farm to provide comms so I decided on trying a self addressing thing, that way it could be less setup to do and each machine should be able to find others without the need for a central store of 'registered servers'. If the control center uses the same object, it can self address too then theoretically servers might be able to predict where they will find certain things without being told.

Much work to do before that arrives in full though! Juval Lowy talking about a publisher-subscriber pattern which I'm going to look at later ...

Thank for your help today! Big Grin | :-D

I need to add styles for the controls in a panel dynamically,
I have created object of the control classes and setted the properties like this

properties.Add(TextBox.FontFamilyProperty, "Arial");

Now I want to add a ControlTemplate similarly, I have created object of ControlTemplate like this

ControlTemplate ctrl = new ControlTemplate();
 ctrl.TargetType = typeof(edtPanel);

 TextBlock txtbl = new TextBlock();
 txtbl.Text = "Test Cotnrol Tempalte";

 properties.Add(TextBox.TemplateProperty, ctrl);

edtPanel is the panel name where i need to add all the controls

Now i want to add the txtbl inside the ControlTemplate ctrl, but I don't have any idea how???

Does anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,

It is difficult to answer the question without knowing how you are implementing the Drag and drop ? Taking a guess, removing the object from your object collection would remove it from the listview automatically ?

This is in user control

this is in window

MVVM design doubt

anishkannan25-Mar-09 20:55

25-Mar-09 20:55

I am trying to design our project in MVVM design pattern.

My doubt is where is fix the binding property class in ViewModel

or Model.

ThankYou

ABitSmart25-Mar-09 21:02

25-Mar-09 21:02

I am not actually sure I understand your question. You can have ViewModel as DataContext of the View. The view defines all the binding with respect to the DataContext. Does that answer your question ?

anishkannan25-Mar-09 21:40

25-Mar-09 21:40

Thank you for the Replay

Here the bulk of data fetch from data base, So the Query class in

Model and that Result set class is ViewModel, so that result set is directly

binding to view class .

Or

The Result set class also in Model , that datas are return to the

another one collection class. that collection class is binding to the

View class

Which one is correct

Thank you...

ABitSmart25-Mar-09 21:52

25-Mar-09 21:52

My thoughts,
I would prefer the second method as the View should be independent of the Model. You have all your processing and business knowledge in the Model. You expose the data to View through the ViewModel. If you directly expose the Model to the View, the View won't be flexible to be used with some other Model in future. The point is, View should not be expected to know of Model, the ViewModel is responsible for everything it needs to know and do.

Appreciate the reply. It would be very beneficial if you invest some time and read through the excellent MVVM resources on the net. You would get a fair picture of the pros and cons of different approaches being taken and what best suits your need.

ABitSmart has given you good advice.

In MVVM, your View never binds to the Model - it always binds to the ViewModel. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest one is that a well designed MVVM application should be testable without the view, so you can "poke" at the ViewModel to exercise it without having to mock up a view.

Similarly, your ViewModel shouldn't access the underlying data - that's the purpose of the model. The ViewModel exists solely to map between a view and a model - it's that simple. So, why do this? Why not map the view to the model? After all, you can test a model in isolation. Well, part of this is because the model exists solely to handle data - it shouldn't provide extensive validation of values, it shouldn't perform business logic, it shouldn't receive invalid values. The ViewModel isolates the model from potentially harmful changes due to user error.

I hope this helps to clarify some of the rationale behind MVVM, and why things are done where they are.
