BOS23-200: WCF Service Discovery
Presenter: John Chapman
Breakout Session - Level 200 (Intermediate)

Discoverability was conspicuously absent in earlier versions WCF. Now Microsoft’s unified programming model provides an implementation of the WS-Discovery protocol. This enables WCF to support the classic SOA publish-find-bind model. This session will cover ad-hoc and managed service discovery behaviors. We’ll examine how to use Scopes, Criteria, and Announcements to simplify and speed endpoint searches. Then we’ll build a managed discovery service and discuss how it can be used effectively in real-world scenarios.
