Service Factory: Contracts

Here's the second installment of my blogcast series on Service Factory. In this one I show how to create WCF data contracts and service contracts. It's a little bigger and longer than I would have preferred, but since I was building the project (a wine rating app) from scratch, I guess that's what took longer.

  Best 25 minutes spent.  No marketing; just good information.  Learned more about what Service Factory is trying to accomplish than the couple of hours already spend downloading the Service Factory and looking thru the Customer Manager implementation.  Note: At least on my installation of Customer Manager, the Service Factory menu item is not available.

  Webcasts are a good idea.
  
  As the GDN teams are creating these projects, it's always good to have a short example webcast describing what the latest drop is trying to accomplish.
  
  Don't forget to add the webcast link to the email that is sent telling of the latest drop.
  
  Thanks.

  Any chance you could post your blogcast in MP4 format too? My iPod video doesn't support wmv.

  Sure Stuart, I'm happy to do that. It shouldn't be too hard now that I'm about to start using some different software to record these. WMV was my only option before.
  
  However, do you really think you're going to be able to read the source code on your iPod? If so, that's pretty cool.

  ..and 90% of what they see, hear and do
  
  So I thought I would do the "do" part and follow your Webcast.
  
  This idea got complicated when you used you XSD from your Desktop!  If you do this sort of thing again, can you include a link such extra's so I don't have to type it out?
  
  TIA

  The recipes at the end of completion of a step is very useful. and Not irritating at all. May be it if for Architects who created the reciepes but are useful for developers to know the next steps..

  Very useful information. I like the XML serialize type approach for creating data contract. I'm working in Insurance industry and in my case ACORD gives very comprehensive schema for insurance operations. Unfortunately it uses lots of xsd choice elements and schema is very big. The schema loads good in XMLSpy but I'm not able to generate data contract for the same. Load Testing with ACORD will give you good testing scenario for Software factory.

  Way to go Don!
  This web cast really got down to the core of how to build data contracts and service contracts using the new Service Factory tool.
  If the following webcasts are as good as this one, we're going to be a productive crowd in no time... keep up the excellent work Don :-)
