MVVM with Prism 101 - Part 6b: Wrapping IClientChannel

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:22:19 GMT

I could have used the title "Ditching Client Service Proxy" or "Avoiding Add Service Reference", but that's not what the meat of the post is about. However, that is essentially the goal of this post. The client service proxy generated when you use "Add Service Reference." to reference your web service from your client project is used by almost every demo I know.

Creating a .NET Windows Service

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:01:03 GMT

The article details three different approaches to creating a .NET service. Most common is the timer-based service, which simply relies on a timer to invoke the background thread periodically. I also cover two other alternatives: using a single worker thread and using multiple worker threads. While the timer strategy is the simplest, the approaches using a single worker thread and multiple worker threads (specifically the multithreaded approach) offer some advantages.

By extending the code provided, you can even have multiple threads running at the same time.
