Exposing WCF services using Synergy .NET Interop

In this post I will explain how a WCF service can be created using a Synergy .NET Interop project. In my earlier post I explained how to use xfNetLink .NET to create a WCF service, which provided an easy way to create a WCF service for developers who were already using xfNetLink .NET and xfServerPlus.

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 [...]

For a while now I’ve been wondering about what the correct way is to start boot time services such as the Synergy License Manager, xfServer and xfServerPlus on Linux systems. A few years ago I managed to “cobble something together” that seemed to work OK, but I had a suspicion that I only had part [...]

Wave Goodbye to the MDU

If you have ever developed with xfServerPlus and xfNetLink then, like me, you may have a “love-hate” relationship with the Method Definition Utility (MDU). You love it because it is an enabling technology … it is one step in the process of extending your Synergy applications with all types of cool client applications. But at [...]
