How to create a client-side webservice proxy using HTTP Handlers

How to send large files across Web Services in small chunks using MTOM (WSE 3).

What's That Tune? is a light-hearted mashup of three web services in C#. This proof-of-concept records audio from a microphone, saves it to Amazon S3, creates a task for workers to name the tune using Amazon Mechanical Turk, then polls Amazon ECS for related albums.

How to server XML from SQL2005 through a WebService

Starting with this article, we shall explore various aspects of WCF

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) enables disconnected work between clients and services. The client posts messages to a queue and the service processes them later. Such interaction permits a different programming model from the default request/response pattern, enabling possibilities such as load leveling, improved availability, and compensating work, to name just a few. This column starts with a brief introduction to Windows Communication Foundation queued calls and then presents an interesting problem-how to get results out of a queued call-and the solution via some cool Windows Communication Foundation programming techniques and a few helper classes.

This month Aaron Skonnard continues his exploration of software factories with a look at the Web Service Software Factory for Windows Communication Foundation.

Amazon SQS makes queuing messages across organizations over HTTP a snap with its Web service interface and Amazon-backed infrastructure. This article walks you through the process to get started using Amazon SQS to create and control queues and messages.

Web Service Software Factory is designed to help you build Web service solutions that follow known architecture and design patterns, as Aaron Skonnard explains here.

This article is a simple, step-by-step guide for those who have ideas and want to quickly implement them. We'll use code to demonstrate how easy it is to build an application on Amazon S3. We'll also highlight questions that you may ask before releasing an application.
