Hi, and apologies for being so awfully quiet the last couple of months. Expect the traffic to pick up again (I’ll explain the silence in a blog post later).
Now, when unit testing WCF Services, I’ve often ended up with cluttering my tests with a lot of plumbing code to wire up the SUT; that is – [...]
So, it’s been a bit quiet here lately. The natural cause of it is (in no particular order):
A lot of work
Spending quality time with my son
Hacking on different kinds of technology bits (mainly pieces released at the PDC 2008)
I’ve also tried to get a clear picture of my “blind spots” when it comes to WCF. [...]
Tonight I held a talk for the Norwegian .NET User Group Oslo on “What’s new in WCF 4.0”. The feedback was good and I think it went fairly well, especially considered the time I’ve had to prepare.
There should probably have been more time allocated for demonstrations but to cover all the areas of improvements in [...]
I’m currently preparing my talk for next Tuesday – “What’s new in WCF 4.0” and one of the features I want to talk about is the new WS-Discovery implementation. My only problem so far (until today) was that I couldn’t find the bits on the Virtual PC Image! I have been searching high and low [...]
On Tuesday the 25th November, I will be speaking at the NNUG Oslo meeting (hosted by NITH @ Galleriet, Oslo).
My inital idea was to do an advanced extensibility talk, but after I attended the PDC in LA a couple of weeks ago I’ve changed my mind; the talk will be about the new features in [...]
With Visual Studio 2008 Microsoft bundled a new tool; the WCF Test Client (and its partner in crime; WcfSvcHost). The intention is good, but sadly the tool isn’t the one you pick up when you develop real-life services. (IMHO) The biggest shortcoming is the lack of functionality for saving and loading test data (templates) so [...]
This post is a work in progress. I feel that I need a place to organize all my pet projects, whether they still only exist in my head or have materialized into some code.

Some time ago, a user with the nickname refaeldakar asked in the WCF/MSDN forum how he could serve PDFs with the WebHttpBinding so that where shown as inline attachments in the web browser.
I wrote a small test application that did what he asked for. The trick here is to add an extra HTTP header to [...]
Some time ago I needed a way to wire up an IoC container in a WCF service I was creating at that time. Since I’ve used ObjectBuilder-based containers a lot in both Composite UI Application Block and Enterprise Library, I wanted to take a closer look at the Unity container and the 2.0 version of [...]
Ok, I’ve bought some wordpress.com credits and pointed one of my domains, larswilhelmsen.com to larsw.wordpress.com. To break the no-blogging spell, I hope that starting fresh on a new site will help to get my fingers moving
Currently, I’m on paternity leave, and when I start working again, it will be for Miles, Norway as [...]
