Hosting WCF Services in an ASP.NET Web Application
There are several ways that you can use Synergy/DE tools to expose WCF services, but regardless of which way you decide to create a service, the next decision you have to make is how to host it. By hosting a WCF service you expos the service and make it possible to use it from other [...]

Exposing WCF Services using xfNetLink .NET
Following a recent enhancement to the product in Synergy 9.5.1, developers can now use xfNetLink .NET to create and expose Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services. In this post I will describe how to do so. This is the second in a series of posts relating to the various ways in which Synergy developers can use [...]

Building Distributed Apps with Synergy/DE and WCF
At the recent SPC’s in Chicago and Oxford several of the sessions that I presented were focused on networking, and in particular on the various tools and technologies that are available to Synergy developers to allow them to build and deploy distributed software applications. In particular I spent quite a bit of time talking about [...]

Lights, Camera, Action!
Now, thinking that once the Synergex Success Partner Conference (http://spc.synergex.com) is over, and we are all sat basking in the glory of the survey results (thanks to everyone who filled them in – the cheques are in the post!), sipping alcohol-free Pina Colada’s, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Once the conference is over, [...]

Shameless plug
I’ve just come back from the UK, where Richard Morris and myself attended DevWeek 2011. The DevWeek conference was hosted at the Barbican center in London, and covered a multitude of various Microsoft / Windows technologies. As it wasn’t hosted by Microsoft, there were no significant goodies/toys given away, but we did gain a lot [...]

The Final Chapter
Using Synergy in all aspects of a new WPF based development is really quite exciting. But when you start to bring in code that was written many years ago you really begin to see the power of a truly cross platform capable development environment. The task I started while working with White Knight was to [...]

Taking .NET to the cleaners
Ding dong, “Laundry service”! Now you could be mistaken for thinking that I’m staying in a rather nice hotel, being called upon by the maid for my dirty laundry. Not so, I’m afraid, I’ll be taking my dirty ‘smalls’ home with me. But for one of our customers, this is their calling card. The customer [...]

Giving people what they want
I just spent the past few days in Seattle attending Visual Studio Live! 2010. If you’re a regular follower of the Synergex PSG blog, you may have the impression that we swan around the world doing nothing but attending conferences. While I'd like that to be true, it's really in an effort to provide our [...]

Blunt Pencil?
I guess all jobs have their perks. This week visiting the office in California, in July, is certainly one of mine. OK, so being stuck in an air conditioned office all week is not exactly lapping up the sunshine, but today is Saturday and I’ve been loaned a bike! Now, when I say bike, let me explain. It’s [...]

Another TechEd Sticky Note
The other night, I discovered the way to beat the heat while here in New Orleans. It’s a fruity little concoction known as the Hurricane, and while it doesn’t actually affect the climate around you, it sure makes feeling hot and sticky a lot more enjoyable. I’m also pretty sure how it got its namesake: [...]
