Instance Pooling in WCF – Part II

In my last post I had started writing about Instance Pooling in WCF and we ended up developing a simple class providing object pooling functionality.In this post we will see what needs to be done step by step to incorporate this instance pool into the WCF framework. Implementing IInstanceProvider The class System.Runtime.Dispatcher.DispatchRuntime exposes the property [...]

Instance Pooling in WCF – Part 1

In my earlier post on WCF behaviors I had given some code snippets on how we can implement pooling in WCF using Behaviors.In this series of posts I am planning to elaborate on the implementation on the same.So to start with the question What is Pooling? needs to be answered.Pooling is a technique where resources [...]

Extensible Objects in WCF

While exploring the instance context initializer and call context initializer in WCF I came across the extensible objects in WCF.This extensible object pattern is used for extending the runtime behavior of the existing classes or to add custom state information.In this pattern we have an object which wants to provide facility to extend it’s behavior [...]

Developing Custom OperationInvoker

In my earlier post I explained the different types of behaviors available in the WCF framework.In this post we will discuss about how to develop a custom operation invoker.Now the obvious question is what is an operation invoker.Operation invoker is the class responsible invoking the service method with a set of parameters and generate the [...]
