In beta 1, ServiceContract attribute had a parameter called FormatMode which we can use to specify a different formatter. The parameter is gone in Beta 2. Does any one know how should I specify that I want to use XmlSerilizer instead of XmlFormatter in beta 2? Thanks.

This is a bit general, but applies to my use of PeerChannel. I am still pretty new to the .Net environment.Given that there are 2 or more pieces of software talking to each other that have no reason to trust each other: how to establish that trust? Any data on a local machine can be assumed to ...
The title says it all really. The ServiceHost generic used to have a property named Throttle which allowed setting of no. of concurrent threads and so on, but this has now disappeared/moved. Anyone know where it went? David

Hi! What do I need to build Indigo services with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition released on November 7th? Thnx.
We have found that we get deadlocks if we have a duplex contract that mixes OneWay calls with normal calls. In the following duplex contract, if the service calls UpdateData() while the client is in the middle of a call to GetData(), both client and server will hang.Is it legal to mix OneWay ...
