That Indigo Girl - WCF Test Client

« Learning WCF Code: VS 2008 | Main | Learning WCF Reprint - July 2008 »

Almost one year ago, I was teaching our WCF Master Class in Norway and one of my students, Lars Wilhelmsen, began extending the WCF Test Client so that it could save and load test settings, for example. He had it working that week, but just now officially posted a blog with the polished version of his extension here: http://larswilhelmsen.com/2008/10/04/wcf-test-client-extended/

I'm not a big fan of the test client for a proper test effort, but Lars extension makes this tool a more viable option for casual testing. It is worth a look!

Regards from Oslo, Norway today. Brrrr.....

Just a thought, consider doing an update to your book for VS2008. Specifically maybe a retitled edition for "WCF for Visual Basic 2008 and .Net 3.5". I am finding myself referring betwen your book and other samples on the net in 2008. The improvements between VS2008 WCF and VS2005 and rather signifcant.

I have updated my book for VS 2008 in fact. I will be posting Chapter 1 here in PDF form shortly. THat is the chapter affected by the changes to VS 2008 since it reviews the tools and getting started templates. The remainder of the book provides startup projects and do not deal with the VS 2008 specifics.
