    In a new project I just recently started I decided to stick with good ol' ASP.NET Web Services. It is simpler, straightforward and just works. It is working like a champ! I can't even spell WFC.. FWC... CFW... whatever that other one is!

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      InfoQ[^]:

      Microsoft continues to be non-committal on the topic of server-side WCF. After giving the impression that server-side WCF is a dead technology, a Microsoft employee quickly stated patience is needed while not actually contradicting the earlier announcement.

      Is it too much to hope for that they put a stake in it?

      Grumble-grumble. Remoting was better. grumble, ASP.NET Web Services was easier. grumble-grumble. SOAP-SOAP. grumble. there. done.

      I worked with WCF on a project several years ago. It was one of the biggest nightmares I've ever encountered (and never did work quite right.)

        Worked as designed ;P That monstrosity (and IBM) is what made me give up on SOAP.

          maybe they dont want to do anything and let the developers switch to opensource alternatives....

              I had to google that (Cheers! it's my kind of site!), but FMS isn't in there! As soon as I find the submission link, it will be; it's certainly a common enough expression in Rightpond. (FMB is in there, but it's erroneous; it's FmoB, where the "o" is "old".)

                  Hehe, I googled "FMS Sideways", showed up as the first result :D So it's not some new framework :rolleyes:

                    So it does! But if you use the site's search bar, it doesn't find it. But that doesn't mean that there's some good in google; I used the startpage.com search engine.

                      "Plans"? Sorry, but WCF itself is a frustrating POS.
