"I Buy Spy" sample application for WinFX

Question

Can anyone suggest good sample applications for WCF (other than the simple SDK ones)?

What I really need is a sample application with the depth and breadth "I Buy Spy" had for the first .Net technologies. But built of course on a 3 tier WCF server and WPF smart client model.  Is anything like that going to be released by Microsoft shortly?

Thanks

Aaron.

Answer 1

Hi Aaron,

I`m interesting  in a sample of 3 tier application, with a WCF in a server offering services and WPF as a client, where WCF offer services to WPF, the services return an objects, no datasets, with a sql server or winfs as a database. If you get samples of this, can you alert me please?? if you need anything said me.

 

thank you

After reading several of the intro chapters in the SDK help on WCF, I've gone through about 80% of the samples and managed to work out what most achieve.  In a relatively short period of time I have learnt a lot through that.

For inspiration there are only two MS applications with a large service as the middle tier that is documented that I know of: Microsoft CRM and TFS. I'm guessing there is information on the TFS service but I haven't seen it.  I don't like the CRM Service class.  And I think it could be done much better than that now with WinFX  (and not to mention the UI).

So how about "CRM ExpressFX" built on WinFX as the developer reference project for WinFX?
