Using Windows Communication Foundation with Visual FoxPro
Need to support web services and find the VFP doesn't handle WS* extensions, complex types, security and more? Do you need to develop an application that can access the same business logic from the web or the local network? Do you need to support message queuing? How about COM+? Maybe you need to create a loosely-coupled Service-Oriented Architecture but find it can't be done in VFP.
Windows Communication Foundation maybe your answer. It is a .Net technology the intended to replace a slew of technologies with a single, easy-to-use API, that allow much of the configuration to be changed at runtime by editing an XML file.
I've posted a new article, Using Windows Communication Foundation with Visual FoxPro on my web site. The article shows how to get started with WCF and then how to COM-enable the .Net code and use it from VFP. Enjoy!

The Code Trip is coming
I just got this email from Tim Heuer:
“The Code Trip is a 22-city tour being done by the evangelism team at Microsoft. Salt Lake City is one of our first stops immediately following the MIX08 conference in Las Vegas. Come join the greater Utah user groups for a discussion on some of the newest Microsoft technologies. Learn what is powering some of the Code Trip systems with WPF and Silverlight. We’ll bring stuff to give away and we’ll find some place to have a geek dinner afterwards for those who would like to join us. If you are doing something great with .NET technologies, we want to hear from you as well! We’re video logging the entire trip and want to give developers a chance to share their story. Come join the groups at Franklin Covey on March 7 from 3-5pm.”
Watch here for more info.
