10-4 episode 19: Service Discovery with WCF

Posted By: Ron Jacobs | May 14th @ 8:39 AM | 48,273 Views | 10 Comments
WCF in .NET 4 includes an implementation of the WS-Discovery protocol.  Sounds exciting right?  Actually it is very cool because it allows you to build applications and services that can discover other services using UDP multicast messages or via a discovery proxy.  In this episode I'll walk through the Service Discovery lab where we build a messenger style application I call "ChatWOW".  In this lab you will see how to make your service discoverable and how you can discover other services.  Later when Beta 1 is released, you can try it yourself.

Update: The WCF/WF4 Training Kit is now live at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wcfwf4 so you can try it yourself.

10-4 over and out!

Great video. How did he type in so many code within a second? He did it so many times, which was impossible using system clipboard.

Very fast fingers....

I edited out a great deal of the typing and copy/paste to keep the video length reasonable.  The first draft of it was nearly an hour long.

When beta 1 is released you will be able to see the code and lab document this video was based on so I felt that watching me type it at normal speed wouldn't be worth the length.

Don't know about the release schedule for sure but I suspect that we will at least have something with a "go-live" license by then.

Any chance you can share out the demo project. I'd like to poke around a bit and it looks like a great starting point.
